Failed to confirm his Saint-Jean-de-Monts success when sanctioned in a 2650m Class E at Les Sables-d’Olonne a month ago, but will have a respectable first-5 chance if Romain Marty can keep him trotting

Has 2 races under his belt, most recently 6th of 11 in a 2450m Caen Class E last Saturday. Front pads on this time but has not done enough to be considered game

9th of 10, after some stride issues, in a 2850m Laval Class E late-August. Should not be too hastily-judged though and can more than make amends if he stays in stride

Reassuring 2nd of 11 in a 2000m Rambouillet Class F 3 weeks ago. Hind pads fitted this time but takes a notable step up in category and others preferred

5th of 9, on return from summer break, in a 2650m Class E at Les Sables-d’Olonne 3 weeks ago. Will have progressed for the run and from the 5-spot, can play a leading role

Debuted nicely at Saint-Omer before winning a 2200m Agon Class F a month ago. Should take well to the new conditions and is sufficiently well-placed to make a big impact

Sanctioned in a 2100m Vincennes Class E early this month. Is not devoid of talent, breaks in front and, with some luck in running, can pick up a cheque

Has not been seen out since getting off the mark in a 2700m Graignes Class F early-May. Is shod to preference with the champion driver reining and can pick up where he left off

Respectable 6th of 9, a place behind L'ART DU SOLLIER (5), in a 2650m Class E at Les Sables-d’Olonne 3 weeks ago. Benjamin Rochard in charge this time but others still easier to back

Opened his account at Les Sables-d’Olonne before losing his action, when competitive for a place, in a 2725m Pornichet Class E on 22 August. Top driver at the helm and, despite the draw, looks a major player

Looked very ordinary when 7th of 9 in a 2600m Class F at Chalons-en-Champagne last Sunday and can be confidently passed over

Won at first time of asking before running 3rd of 7 finishers in a 2750m Class F at La Capelle 3 weeks ago. Not a priority but still has the wherewithal to get in on the action

Returns to racing left-handed after finishing 6th of 8 in a 2450m Caen Class E on 9 September, but already looks out of his depth
