3rd of 9 behind HELENA GIRL (5) in a 2850m Class D here on 8 November. Front pads fitted this time and best to hold off

Never far from faulting but has bags of ability, latterly unlucky 6th of 9 behind HELENA GIRL (5) in a 2850m Class D here on 8 November, but can make amends if Damien Bonne keeps him out of trouble. Chance

Has failed to deliver at Vincennes recently, latterly sanctioned in 8 November race of reference. Has ability but first needs to re-establish his credentials

Very good 2nd of 9 finishers in a 2850m Class D here over the inner track 9 days ago. In the money in all 3 ridden starts to date and is not about to break the mould

Fine servant that ran 4th, behind HIMALAYA NARCY (11), in a Class D under these conditions late-October, and has a realistic chance of making the frame this time

Unable to confirm good Enghien performance when sanctioned in 29 October race of reference, and others easier to trust

Impressive 2nd of 10 finishers, on comeback, in a 2875m Enghien Class D mid-October. Mathieu Mottier in the irons again and will not be going home empty-handed

Last but one when being conditioned in a harness Class D over course and distance last weekend. Has done nothing noteworthy for some time and, even shod to preference, is unlikely to make any impact

Won a brace before running 2nd of 8 in a Class D over track and trip late last month. Has taken superbly to her new vocation and can enjoy another day in the sun

Back in the code after running 5th of 11 in a 2850m Parilly harness Class C on 10 October. Seldom puts a foot out of place in this branch of the game and returns to racing shod with a good hand to play

Has 2 runs in him since the break, most recently sanctioned in a 2450m Caen Class D on 12 October, but seems to be off the boil and can be passed over

Race Overview
Like a horse reborn since switching codes, HIMALAYA NARCY (11) missed out on the hat-trick under these conditions late last month, but Denis Brossard has found a fine opportunity to set the record straight. Nathalie Henry will still be keeping a keen eye on the temperamental but talented HANDSOME BOY (2) who rarely disappoints over 2700m here, and HOUARNEAU (6) who finished a place ahead of him in the race of reference. HELENA GIRL (5) has demonstrated significant promise and a repeat of her latest performance would see her go close.

11 - 2 - 6
