Entrusted to Eric Raffin for first time after having run 2nd of 12 in a 2250m Auch Class F 9 days ago. Unlikely to open autumn account but can still pick up a cheque

Showed his form after being sanctioned in a 2750m Class E here late-October. Is in his category and, if applied, can finish in first 5

5th of 10 finishers in a 2850m Laval Class E 12 days ago. Has bags of potential and will be no pushover if he takes to the new profile

Pleased here in September before finishing 6th of 11 in a 2750m Class E here on 28 October, and will have few friends

Won a pair before coming 5th of 11 in a 2750m Class E here on 28 October. Faces a tougher lot on this occasion and chances appear limited

Sanctioned in a 2100m Vincennes Class D on 8 October. Is significantly better than recent numbers would suggest and will be expected to apply the pressure on LAREDO BAY (12)

Produced a pair of good efforts before finishing a disappointing 6th of 13 in a 2725m Grenade Class E a month ago. Deserves to be given the benefit of the doubt though. Minor place prospect

Runner-up in 2 before finishing 9th of 13 in a 2725m Grenade-sur-Garonne Class E a month ago. At this level though, has no possible chance

5th of 12 in a 2150m Enghien claimer a month ago. 4 pads fitted but can nonetheless expect to find this a stiffer test

8th of 11 in a 2400m Beaumont Class C on 13 October. Has struggled since returning from her break and needs to get her house in order

Sanctioned in last 2, latterly a 2050m Cabourg Class D mid-October, but the hand of a trainer in form can make all the difference. Chance

7th of 13 in a 2150m Enghien Class D late last month. Is wonderfully-engaged this time and has the wherewithal to impose

Unable to repeat Cazaubon victory when last but one in a 2400m Beaumont Class C on 13 October. Front pads fitted but still looks out of her depth
