Well-earned 3rd of 7 finishers in a 2850m Class A here on 7 September. Boasts a good record over track and trip and should logically finish close

5th of 7, behind JONGLEUSE DE LUNE (1), in a 2850m Class A here 3 weeks ago. Has never been tested over 2700m but is clearly in form and represents a decent place prospect

A write-off so far this year, latterly last but one in a 2750m Ecommoy Class B 3 weeks ago, and is not easy to recommend

Quickly broke into a gallop, being sanctioned, in a Class D over course and distance 9 days ago. Is quite obviously in form and even though in considerably better company, is still worth monitoring
C Raimbaud

Has not been seen out since being sanctioned in a 2175m monte Class C here last January. Has other priorities and can be ignored

8th of 14, when being prepared for this, in a 2750m Ecommoy Class E 3 weeks ago. Has never been beaten under these conditions and has a reasonable chance of maintaining his perfect record

Eye-catching winner of a 2850m Class D here earlier in the month. Pitted against 5 year-olds this time but can still get in on the action

Imposed at Le Mont-Saint-Michel 3 weeks ago before losing her action in a 2850m Laval Class D on Thursday, and backs up with a respectable chance of picking up some crumbs

Back in shape following a slow spring, most recently 5th of 14 in a 2850m Feurs Class B on 2 September. Reverts to a previous formula, but is possibly being aimed too high this time

Useful on a good day but is going to have to improve on his 11th of 13 in a 2700m Class D at La Capelle on 4 September

Won at Divonne on re-entry before finishing last but one, behind JAGUAR GRIFF (11), in a 2850m Feurs Class B early this month. Has never excelled over 2700m here but, barefoot for the occasion, is hard to ignore
Ch Schandrin

Last but one when being conditioned for this in a Gr.2 over course and distance late-August. Goes over any trip, is head-and-shoulders better than others here, and will be expected to trot off with the silverware

As sharp in one code as the other these days, latterly winning a 2775m Craon monte Class D, with ease, early this month. Is barefoot for the occasion, excels with Benjamin Rochard, and must be respected

Failed to confirm his Saint-Malo performance when 7th of 15 in a 2950m Le Mans Gr.3 2.5 weeks ago. Drops back in class and has a reasonable chance of making first 5

Race Overview
Although yet to get into his stride lately, JASON (14) nevertheless has nothing to prove at this level and, barefoot this time, should be able to wrap this up. HIGH DREAM (8) may not be cut from the same cloth but he is masterful at this level and, with 2 races under his belt, and shod to preference, looks the principal danger. Solid as a rock in his last 2, JONGLEUSE DE LUNE (1) drops back in category with a lot to offer, as does JET EXPRESS (2) who did not finish far off him earlier this month.
