Superb winner, on return to competition, in a 2700m Class A here late last month. Jean-Michel Bazire maintains faith and, despite the draw, will still be no easy touch

11th of 14, when being conditioned, in a Class B over course and distance earlier this month. Shoes on again and others easier to back

Returns to France after running 6th of 9 in 2100m Gr.1 Gran Premio Delle Nazioni at San Siro 3 weeks ago. Ran 2nd on lone appearance under these conditions and, given his form, must be retained

Consistent type dropping in category after running 5th of 14 in a 3000m Nantes Gr.3 earlier this month. Boasts excellent speed under these conditions and must be afforded respect

Unbeaten in 7 starts in France, latterly winning a 2850m Class C here on 22 September. Thrives over 2100m on the main track and, from the 5-spot, will take all the beating

Has 3 runs in him since the break, most recently 8th of 15 behind GIPSY DE CHAMANT (9) in a 2700m Class C here 2.5 weeks ago. Enjoys a good spot in front and will be thereabouts at the finish

Disappointing this term, latterly 6th of 15 behind GIPSY DE CHAMANT (9) in a 2700m Class C here 2.5 weeks ago, and is unlikely to improve on that

Imposed at La Capelle before running 2nd of 13 in a 2850m Class D here a fortnight ago and given his liking for these conditions, looks main rival to GLOBAL AGREEMENT (5)

Excellent in last 2 here, latterly coming 3rd of 15 in a 2700m Class C here 2.5 weeks ago. Does not benefit from the best of draws but, in current form, is very easy to like

Has not been seen out since winning over 2140m in Aalborg 2 months ago. Is unbeaten in 3 starts over course and distance though and, racing barefoot, will be one to keep an eye on

11th of 15, on first start since July, behind GIPSY DE CHAMANT (9) in a 2700m Class C here 2.5 weeks ago. Will have come on for the run, has solid 2100m credentials here, and can play a role if Nicolas Bazire extricates himself early

13th of 16, on comeback, in a 2200m Caen Class B on 20 October. Races shod again and can be passed over

7th in race of reference before finishing last of 7 in a 2175m monte Gr.2 here 2 weeks ago, and cannot be considered a player

Good dual-discipline type that ran 3rd of 10 in a 2625m Agen monte Class D 3.5 weeks ago. Shoes on though and poses no danger

Convincing winner, on re-entry, in a 2875m Argentan Class A 2 weeks ago. Entrusted to Alexandre Abrivard this time but the draw will do him no favours

Last of 9 in a 2175m monte Class B here early-October. Reconfigured this time but still not an obvious choice
