Good 3rd of 14 in a 2100m Class C here on 25 October. Would be preferred over shorter though

9th of 15 to JOUMBA DE GUEZ (6) in a Gr.3 over course and distance on 25 October. Still in conditioning-mode and can be passed over

Sanctioned in a 2100m Gr.2 here earlier this month. Is plainly in form but others still easier to back

Ran close 2nd to JOUMBA DE GUEZ (6) in a Gr.3 over course and distance on 25 October. Currently enjoying the form of her life and looks a leading contender once more
Ecurie La Tour De Vandel

Ran 3rd to JOUMBA DE GUEZ (6) in Prix Pierre Van Troyen before being sanctioned in 2100m Gr.2 Prix Marcel Laurent a fortnight ago. Will appreciate a return to 2700m and can set the record straight

Got back in the winners' enclosure on 25 October when securing a Gr.3 over course and distance. Sports the same configuration and, with application, can repeat

4th of 8 in a 2700m monte Gr.2 here 11 days ago. Has other priorities and cannot be considered a priority
Ecurie Alexis Grimault

Disappointing in 2 since winning Gr.2 Prix Phaeton during the summer, latterly last of 7 in a 2100m Class A here on 27 September, and is unlikely to spring any surprises

Fine Swedish type making first appearance since running 5th of 10 in a 2140m Solvalla Gr.1 mid-August. Is confirmed here, races barefoot for comeback, with Francois Lagadeuc reining, and must be afforded respect

Ran 3rd of 12 in Gr.1 Criterium des 4 Ans mid-October before repeating in a 2875m Argentan Class A 3 weeks ago. Has come close more than once over 2700m here and will not be far off the mark
Ecurie E Varin
C

3rd of 12 in 2100m Gr.2 Prix Marcel Laurent a fortnight ago. Is well-engaged here and, 3 times a winner over course and distance, is not going down without a fight

Race Overview
A very good edition of this Gr.3, but it is nevertheless difficult to ignore JOUMBA DE GUEZ (6) who put a pair of sanctions behind him to win the Gr.3 Prix Pierre Van Troyen a month ago. Runner-up that day after having come 2nd in the Gr.1 Grand Prix de l'UET a fortnight earlier, KIARA DE VANDEL (4) can again figure prominently, but may first have to see off JAZZMAN DEBAILLEUL (11) who recently ran 3rd in the Gr.2 Prix Marcel Laurent, and the tough JANGO VICI (5) who sports a fresh configuration.
Selection:
6 - 11 - 5
