2nd over course and distance before the summer break. Starts for first time since faulting in a 2175m Class C here 2 months ago and is plainly in conditioning-mode this time

Won over 2700m here before finishing 13th of 15 in a 2850m Laval Class B 3 weeks ago. Remains shod and can be ruled out

Returns to racing barefoot after finishing last but one in a Gr.2 over 2100m here earlier in the month, but seems out of sorts and will first need to reaffirm

Sanctioned in last 2, most recently a Class C over 2100m here late-October. Is not without merit though and the engagement of Benjamin Rochard can pay off

Made it 4 on the trot when easy winner of a Class D over 2100m here on 29 September. Comes here fresh and even though stepping up in category, must be respected

Has not been seen out since being sanctioned in a 2875m Enghien Class A mid-June. Sports modified shoeing but is unlikely to influence the result

Put in a fine finish to come 3rd of 12 in a 2700m Class B here 12 days ago. Trainer back in the bike and will not be sent out at 30/1 this time. Chance

8th of 12, on first start for 3 months, in a 2100m Gr.2 here on 9 November. Caught the eye that day and, competitively-shod this time, will be no pushover

10th of 15, when preparing for this, in a 3000m Nantes Class B 2 weeks ago. Has significant ability and is not one to be underestimated

Serious sort making first start since running 3rd of 9 in a 2875m Enghien Gr.3 in August. Has never disappointed when barefoot and should be thereabouts at the finish

Failed to make his mark when last of 8 in a 2100m Gr.1 here on 11 October. Ran 2nd here on penultimate start though and, similarly-shod, should not be far from the action

Sanctioned when full of running in a 2100m Gr.1 here on 11 October. Has nothing to prove at this level and, if still on the boil, can wrap this up

Last of 9, on return from a spell, in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class A last week. Unconvincing that day and may need another outing

Nicely-engaged here but will need to improve on last week's 5th of 9 in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class A

Race Overview
Very unlucky in the Gr.1 Grand Prix de l'U.E.T., KAVIARISSIME (12) drops down the class-ladder in search of a morale-booster and should be able to win this if Francois Lagadeuc keeps him out go trouble. That being said, the classy German, JAZZMAN (GER) (8), has a race under his belt, runs unshod-behind for the first time, and is unlikely to go down easily. KOKOTE (7) left quite the impression here earlier in the month and, sporting a new configuration, is not incapable of outshining her stablemate. KOBAYASHI (9) has been afforded ample time to prepare for this, is shod as he was for the Prix Ourasi, and with application, could pleasantly surprise.
Selection:
12 - 8 - 7
