Sanctioned, on comeback, in a Class C over course and distance a fortnight ago. Preparing for campaign under the saddle and will have nothing to offer

Course-and-distance winner during the spring but yet to get into his stride this term, latterly last but one in a 2850m Class C here on 22 October. Hind pads fitted for first time and will be one to watch

Hardy sort making first start since running 2nd to LE BILLET VERT (10) in a 2750m Cabourg Class D late-August. Debuts at the venue and is unlikely to shake things up

Quality colt that comfortably won a 2100m Class E over the inner track here on 29 October. Debuts on the main track but has the profile and can repeat
J Rattina

Won a Class E here before faulting in the latter stages of a 2100m Class C here early last month. Sports just hind pads this time and is unlikely to be far from the action
M Soulas

Won at Les Sables before being pipped in a 2875m Enghien Class D late-September. Eric Raffin maintains faith and is very much in the picture

8th of 11 in a 2825m Chartres Class E 10 days ago. Fitted with 4 pads this time but still seems to be taking on more than he can handle
Mme Brigitte Bernieau

Sanctioned, when clearly in shape, in a 2850m Class C here on 22 October. Has ample ability though and, with application, can make a big splash

Disappointing before being sanctioned in a 2750m Cherbourg Class C mid-August. Is not without merit but will be expected to need the run
J Dubois

Drops in category after running a respectable 7th of 12, behind LEXINGTON DANICA (11), in a 2850m Class C here on 22 October. Yet to prove himself right-handed but has a lot going for him here. Chance

Pleasant 6th of 12 in 22 October race of reference. Tackles main track for first time and even with Benjamin Rochard reining, is unlikely to cause an upset
Ecurie Marc Sassier

3h1h2h4h3h3
3rd of 10 finishers in a 2100m Class C here early-October. Is as consistent as they come and, entrusted to David Thomain, will not be far off the mark

Classy future prospect that was sanctioned on re-entry in a 2700m Graignes Class B a month back. Has other priorities and can be passed over

Unseen since being sanctioned in a Gr.3 over course and distance late-August. Has freshness on his side and will have his chances if his driver assures his initial strides

Race Overview
A number of interesting elements here, but preference nevertheless goes to LORD DU BASSIN (4) who opened his Vincennes account late last month and who takes to the main track with a realistic chance of doubling his money. LORD DELO (8) is complicated at the best of times but with JMB back in the bike, can set the record straight. Arguably better racing clockwise, LE BILLET VERT (10) held his own here recently and, sporting pads for the first time, looks dangerous. Sanctioned more often than not, LOVE ME DO (14) makes his first appearance since August, but enjoys an excellent entry, and is good enough to win this, provided Christophe Martens manages to get him off on the right foot.
Selection:
4 - 8 - 10
