Flattering 5th of 9 finishers in a a Class B over course and distance last week. Useful under the saddle but in this category will struggle to make her mark

Quality element that finished last of 9 in a Class B over course and distance last week, but appears to need another run

5th to LIONHEART (9) in a Vincennes Class A before coming 4th of 8 in a 2825m harness Class A at Le Croise-Laroche 12 days ago. Is not devoid of ability but still has more to find

Ran 4th of 10 finishers in 2450m Gr.1 Saint-Leger des Trotteurs at Caen on 12 October. Makes just 2nd appearance over the main track but is a thorough professional, is in form, and will be competitive for a place on the podium

Defied his odds in Gr.2 Prix de Basly before running 6th of 10 in a 2800m Rambouillet harness Class B conditioner early-October. 4 pads fitted for the occasion and, although not a priority, should not be ignored

8th of 11 to LOOPING DAY (11) in 2700m Gr.2 Prix Louis Tillaye over course and distance 3 weeks ago. Front pads fitted this time and the change of jockey could make all the difference. First 5

Made it 4 in a row when dominating a harness Gr.3 over course and distance a fortnight ago. In good company here but is undefeated with Eric Raffin and looks main threat to LOOPING DAY (11)

Opened his monte account in style, at first time of asking, in 2700m Gr.2 Prix Louis Tillaye over course and distance 3 weeks ago. Returns to the code with morale at a high and can leave in similar humour

Race Overview
Terrific winner of the Gr.2 Prix Louis Tillaye here 3 weeks ago, on his first public start under the saddle, LOOPING DAY (11) looks more than capable of doubling up. He will nevertheless be pitted against some good elements, notably the reconfigured LIONHEART (9) who boasts a 100% win-rate in the discipline, and LOVISSIME (12) who put on an excellent show in the Gr.1 Saint-Leger des Trotteurs last time out. A place behind her that day, LOCHAN (5) has significant untapped potential and will be no easy touch.
