Unlucky to be sanctioned in a Gr.3 over course and distance on 8 November. Reverts to a previous formula, always gives his best, but appears to be out of his depth this time

Showed improvement when 3rd of 7 in a Gr.3 over course and distance 9 days ago, but still not an obvious choice

Returns to Vincennes on a hat-trick, most recently winning a 3000m Nantes Class B with ease 11 days ago. Has previously placed under these conditions but looks more a minor place prospect this time around

Here for a change of scenery after running 7th of 11 in a 2700m monte Gr.2 here late-October, and will have nothing to contribute

Sanctioned in last 3, most recently 1600m Premio Vittorio Guzzinati in Turin on 1 October. May have more luck in France but, with front pads fitted, is unlikely to cause an upset

Serious colt that has had the benefit of 3 conditioners, latterly 9th of 15 in a 2850m Laval Class B on 1 October. Has never disappointed when sporting pads and should not be overlooked

Never at his ease when 6th of 10 finishers in 2450m monte Gr.1 Saint-Leger des Trotteurs at Caen on 12 October. Has other priorities and can be disregarded

4th of 6 finishers to LOMBOK JIEL (13) in 2175m Gr.2 Prix Victor Regis here on 25 October. Unlikely to get his nose in front but can nevertheless pick up a slice of the pie

Made up for lacklustre Criterium performance when missing out by little to LOMBOK JIEL (13) in 2175m Gr.2 Prix Victor Regis here on 25 October. Has talent in spades and can again finish close

2nd of 9 finishers to FIRST OF MIND (14) in 2100m Gr.1 Derby Italiano at Le Capannelle on 13 October. Boasts a remarkable French record, races shod to preference, and is not to be underestimated

Race Overview
A class act that won the Gr.2 Prix Victor Regis here after having enjoyed a magnificent summer, LOMBOK JIEL (13) returns to racing with 4 pads fitted and will justifiably garner the lion's share of support. He is going to be pitted on this occasion against Italian Derby winner, FIRST OF MIND (14), who sports front pads for the first time, and LUCIANO MENUET (11) who will be expected to bounce back from his Victor Regis sanction. Close 2nd that day, LOULOU DE MYE (10) will have been kept on the boil and is not about to let the side down.
