Finished 4th in a similar contest over 2800m at this venue in May but disappointed in both subsequent outings. Capable of better and not hastily condemned for his last-start disqualification at Montlucon on 16 June

Only narrowly in an amateur race over 2800m at Bollene on 23 June in this shoeing (barefoot) configuration. Candidate for success

Honest hard-knocker seldom far off the mark at a higher level - finished 8th in a 2725m mounted race at Lisieux on 7 June. Should fare better in the amateur ranks

Returned to form with an encouraging 4th over 2775m at Craon against the 'pros' on 23 June. Will be a factor

Experienced in the amateur ranks but unlikely to trouble the judge having finished unplaced 8 of 9 outings this year, the latest (8th) at Feurs over 2850m on 22 June

Unreliable trotter, soundly beaten in both comeback outings this year and isn't likely to make his presence felt here after a modest 10th over 3025m at Montlucon on 16 June

Consistent performer who has acquitted himself well in 3 consecutive recent appearances in amateur races, the latest (4th) over 2850m at Feurs on 22 June. Keep safe

Veteran mare whose recent form inspires little confidence - unplaced (7th) in this shoeing configuration at this venue over track and trip on 17 June

Tricky customer, disqualified in consecutive outings before finishing 9th over track and trip in the 'pros' earlier this month (17 June). Not taken lightly at this level

Race Overview
INCA DES CHAMPS (3) has, arguably, the best winning chance in this amateur event. ITON DES LANDES (5) and INDIGO BUROIS (1), however, have the means to fight for victory, too. HASTON ATOUT (8), HESTIA DU COMTAL (10) and ISAAC DE CONDE (4) are others capable of getting involved.
