Last-start winner of a 1000m Fontainebleau handicap on 22 September. Up 3kg as a result but not taken lightly

Consistent hard-knocker with sound references/form credentials, including a course-and-distance 3rd in a similar contest won by KOUTSOUNAKOS (9) on 19 September. Keep safe

Didn't go unnoticed when 7th in a course-and-distance claimer on 19 September so shouldn't be taken lightly, having dropped slightly in the weights/ratings. Dark horse

Ideally suited to this distance, over which he won a handicap at Chantilly 3 starts back (3 September) and 3rd in his latest appearance at that venue on 3 October. Has a winning chance in his first outing on this course

Rediscovered her form and consistency, albeit over slightly longer distances, since joining this stable. Didn't go unnoticed when 5th in a 1400m handicap at Strasbourg on 15 September

Course specialist with 5 Top 3 finishes in 6 visits to this course. Runner-up in the references race over track and trip on 19 September and likely to play another leading role

Inconsistent performer seldom far off the mark on a going day but currently out of sorts. Unplaced (7th) in a course-and-distance claimer on 19 September

Unplaced in 5 appearances on French soil and was a well-beaten 10th in a 2100m conditions race on the PSF at Mons on 26 September. Others preferred

Well-performed veteran who was a dominant start-to-finish winner of a course-and-distance claimer last time out (on 19 September). The horse to beat

Capitalised on a career-low rating/current mark to finish a reassuring 3rd in a course-and-distance handicap on 19 September. Makes another long trip to this venue with legitimate ambitions

Capable 3-year-old with sufficient means and references/form credentials in the claiming category (twice 4th in this grade). Was 7th in track-and-trip handicap (19 September) but headgear worn that day dispensed with

Disappointing 5th under somewhat favourable conditions in a 1000m Vichy handicap on 24 September off this mark but has the means to redeem herself at this level. Shouldn't be hastily condemned

Out-of-sorts veteran gelding yet to spark improvement despite plummeting in the weights/ratings. Could only finish 9th over 1350m at Lyon-Parilly on 11 September

Battling 78-start maiden who has placed just once in his career. Not likely to trouble the judge on the evidence of his last-start 9th in a 1000m Vichy handicap on 24 September

A 22-start maiden with poor recent form to her name, including a last-start 10th in a track-and-trip claimer on 19 September
