Sanctioned on re-entry in a Class C over 2700m here last Friday. Is capable on a good day but others easier to trust

Good class of mare in this branch of the business. Hind shoes off, with Benjamin Rochard reining, and although not a priority this time, is still worth monitoring

9th of 13, when preparing for this, in a 3000m Nantes harness Class B 8 days ago. Barefoot this time, has nothing to prove under these conditions, and will be no pushover if Nathalie Henry keeps him trotting

Courageous 4th of 6 finishers in a 2850m Laval Class A on 1 October. Races barefoot this time and should not be entirely discounted

Hardy sort that ran 3rd to GO OR NOT (7) in a 2450m Caen Class B 3.5 weeks ago. Steps marginally up in class but looks capable of picking up some prizemoney
Tanguy De La Bourdonnaye

Last of 11 in a harness Class C over course and distance on 18 October, and appears to have no possible chance

Convincing winner of a 2450m Caen Class B 3.5 weeks ago. Goes well for his young partner, and given the nature of his latest Vincennes performances, must not be overlooked

Has not been seen out since coming 5th behind FILWELL (15) in 2875m Gr.2 Prix de Londres in August. Is 25m better off this time and, if sufficiently-fit, can get in on the action
Mme C Beileard Mottier

Last of 14 when being conditioned in a 3000m Nantes Gr.3 last week. Goes particularly well for the day's jockey and has a reasonable chance of making the frame

Last but one to GRANIT MESLOIS (14) in a 2850m Vincennes Gr.3 on 11 October. 4 pads fitted but still not a player

Brilliant winner, at 16/1, of a 2175m Class B here on 1 October. Put in a time of 1'10'6 that day and a similar performance, from the first line, would set the cat among the pigeons
D Benchetrit

Back under the saddle after finishing 8th of 11 in a 2300m Mons harness Gr.3 late last month and is not about to spring a surprise

Sanctioned in a harness Class D over course and distance 10 days ago. Has never shown any aptitude for the discipline and, even though reconfigured, is not about to start

Failed to confirm Gr.3 victory when sanctioned in a 2175m Gr.2 here on 4 November. Has excellent references over 2850m here, is a class above most and, with application, should have this in the bag

Makes first appearance since running 2nd of 9 to GRANIT MESLOIS (14) in a 2850m Vincennes Gr.3 on 11 October. Starts on 2nd line but still has the capacity to finish close

Race Overview
Winner of a Gr.3 over the inner track here early-October before faulting in the Gr.2 Prix Reynolds 10 days ago, GRANIT MESLOIS (14) is forced to start on the second line but can wrap this up if Victor Saussaye keeps him focused. Runner-up to him in the Gr.3, FILWELL (15) also incurs the penalty, but still looks the main threat. GOLD VOICE (11) sprang quite the surprise here last time and must be taken more seriously. Shod to preference after prepping under harness, GOOD GIRL MARCEAUX (9) is reunited with Alexandre Abrivard and looks competitively well-in.

14 - 15 - 11
