7th of 8 in a 2200m Vincennes Class C 11 days ago. Will appreciate this more even surface but still looks to have too much to do

Runner-up in both starts to date, most recently a 2200m Vichy Class E last weekend. Alexandre Abrivard in the bike for first time and will be quick to take advantage of the draw. Chance

Disappointing since winning first time out, mid-July, most recently last of 8, behind MANHATTAN ROUSSAC (1), in a 2175m Vincennes Class C late last month. Eric Raffin reining but more performant options available

Solid on debut, then ran respectable 5th of 8 in a 2200m Vincennes Class D 2.5 weeks ago. Enjoys an excellent draw and will not be far off the mark if Franck Nivard assures his initial strides

Impressive 2nd on debut before coming 4th of 8 in a 2225m Ecommoy Class C 3 weeks ago. Has buckets of untapped potential and looks better than most here. Claim

Has done everything right so far, latterly 2nd of 12 in a 2000m Rambouillet Class E 3 weeks ago. Hails from a yard going good-guns and will again be expected to contest the finish

Lost his action first time out before making amends and winning a 2200m Vichy Class F, with consummate ease, 3 weeks ago. Faulted on lone left-handed start but can pick up a cheque if he turns

Fastest qualifier in the field that came a good 2nd of 7 finishers in a 2000m Class E at La Capelle on 8 September. Takes a notable step up in category though and may be taking on too much

Pleasing 3rd of 8 in a 2200m Caen Class F, on debut, 3 weeks ago. Will have come on for the run and, despite starting on 2nd line, still looks a player

Quickly sanctioned in a 2250m Class C here on 10 August and, in this category, can expect to find himself swimming against the tide
