Ran 4th at Les Sables before faulting in a 2850m Vincennes Class D last week. Has never failed to deliver at Mauquenchy however and, if applied, will be competitive for a place on the podium

Won a 2175m Vincennes Class D, on comeback, 3 weeks ago. Is never far from faulting but on good behaviour will take some beating

Should not be too rashly-condemned for coming 5th of 10 in a 2875m Meslay Class D early last month. Tends to go well for Benjamin Rochard and can challenge for the win this time

Pleasantly surprised at Vincennes before running 10th of 12 in a 2875m Enghien Class D on 17 October, and will have few takers

Put an end to his lean streak when victorious in a 2775m Class E at Les Sables on 21 October. Is as honest as they come but too much is being asked of him this time

Returned to winning ways a month ago, clinching a 2875m Enghien Class D. Unlikely to repeat but will not be available at 26/1 on this occasion

Last but one in a 2875m Enghien Class D on 17 October, and recent form does nothing to inspire confidence

Failed to confirm Le Mans success when 7th of 8 in a 2450m Caen Class D a month back. Has won in both codes here though, and must not be overlooked

Tenacious winner of a 2875m Enghien Class C 2.5 weeks ago. Excels with Hanna Huygens and can put his Mauquenchy drought behind him

Race Overview
When applied, IDOLA (2)is an absolute master-class in monte racing, and although yet to make her mark at Mauquenchy, she returns to the venue on a hat-trick, with front pads fitted, and if focused, can wrap this up. That being said, she will be pitted against the on-form and tough IKURO JIEL (3) who has a lot to contribute on his first start at the track, and IT'S MY DREAM (9) who was an impressive winner across town late last month.
Selection:
2 - 3 - 9
