4th to HEDE DARLING (8) at Enghien before finishing 2nd of 13 to HAPPY DANICA (3) in a Class C over course and distance on 21 August, and if still on the boil, can play a dominant role

Failed to confirm his Alencon effort when 10th of 15 in a 2500m Craon Class B last Monday. Sports a fresh configuration but others still easier to back

Won a Class C over track and trip before finishing 6th to GOLD DAIRPET (11) in a 2850m Class B here late last month. Is significantly better than that though, and the engagement of Pierre-Yves Verva can help to put things right

Good 6th in a Craon Gr.3 before coming 2nd of 11, despite being denied a run, in a 2850m Class B here a fortnight ago, and looks main threat to HEDE DARLING (8)

Not as sharp as she was last winter here but reassured somewhat when 5th behind HEDIC GEMA (4) in a 2850m Class B here mid-month. Not a leading contender but still a decent first-5 prospect

9th of 14, behind GRECO BELLO (7), in a 2925m Cagnes Class B, on re-entry, late last month. Goes barefoot this time but may still be one race shy

4th of 14 in a 2925m Cagnes Class B on 24 August. Consistently gives his best, won his only start under these conditions, and will be no easy touch

Good 6th of 15 in a 2950m Le Mans Gr.3 2.5 weeks ago. Has nothing to prove in this category, has form over track and trip, and looks the pick of the field

3rd to GOLD DAIRPET (11) over 2850m here late last month, at 60/1, before finishing last but one in a 2850m Class B here mid-month, and has no realistic chance

Disappointing since winning a brace at Divonne-les-Bains, most recently 9th of 11, behind HEDIC GEMA (4) in a 2850m Class B here mid-month. Has respectable credentials over 2700m but appears to be taking too much on

23/1 winner of a 2850m Class B here late-August but disappointing 8th of 11, behind HEDIC GEMA (4), in a 2850m Class B here mid-month, and can be disregarded
