3rd to LOVER STILL (3) early last month before winning a 2550m Reims Class D 12 days later. Raffin back in the bike and will be competitive for a place on the podium

Quality colt that was battling for victory when sanctioned in a Class B over 2700m here 12 days ago. Has talent to burn and, with application, can play a leading role

Won 2 of last 4, latterly a Class E over course and distance, with ease, a month back. In better company this time but a similar performance would assure him the double

Got back in the game here 2.5 weeks ago, coming 2nd of 10 in a 2100m Class C. Drawn decently and will not be sent out at 61/1 this time around

Debuted nicely at Vincennes 10 days ago, coming 4th of 9 in a 2700m Class D. Enjoys a good draw in front and, even though stepping up in category, can still get in on the action

Runner-up in last 2, most recently a 2175m Class D here 3.5 weeks ago. Has a lot going for him here and must be taken more seriously on this occasion

Showed progress when 5th of 10, a place behind LIBRE PENSEUR MEEK (4), in a 2100m Class C 2.5 weeks ago. 4 pads fitted this time but still has ground to make up

3rd of 10, a place behind LIBRE PENSEUR MEEK (4), in a 2100m Class C 2.5 weeks ago. Forced to break wide but still has a reasonable chance of finishing in the mix

8th in race of reference before running 9th of 11 in a 2950m Toulouse Class B a fortnight ago, and can be confidently disregarded

Acquitted himself well to finish close 2nd of 8 in a 2700m Class E, on Vincennes debut 2 weeks ago. In considerably better company this time and chances limited

Tricky character that won at Mauquenchy before faulting early in a 2600m Cherbourg Class B 9 days ago. Would have preferred a better draw and not an obvious choice

Debuts on main track after trotting 5th of 11 in a 2750m Cabourg Class D late-August. Fitted with 4 pads for the occasion but others still easier to back
Johan Bougeard

Useful sort making first appearance since coming 2nd of 8 in a 2500m Class D at La Rochelle early-August. Races shod, starts on back line, and cannot be considered a priority

Race Overview
Winner over course and distance at the first time of asking, LOVER STILL (3) takes a notable step up in category but still looks the pick of the field. Starting to his inside, the tricky LUGANO DE LOU (2) showed his form here recently before being sanctioned, and Alexandre Abrivard has good motivation to put things right. Reunited with Eric Raffin after winning at Reims last month, LE MAC (1) has not been handed the best of draws but still looks a player. Plainly close to his race, LUCKY JOSSELYN (6) finds himself well-positioned behind the car and David Thomain will be expected to capitalise.
Selection:
3 - 2 - 1
