Consistent maiden with sound references/form credentials, despite a last-start failure (disqualification) over 2550m at Reims on 15 September. Not hastily condemned

An 11-start maiden whose Vincennes debut 5th over 2700m in this configuration on 20 September was better than it may read. Keep safe

Consistent performer with sound references/form credentials, albeit without a victory (11 starts). Seldom far off the mark and didn't go unnoticed when 6th on this course over 2700m on 20 September

Debut winner at Cagnes in February but proved a tricky customer since - disqualified in 4 consecutive recent outings, the latest over 2550m at Reims. Question of wisdom

A tricky customer who has maintained consistency/acquitted himself competitively when applied (avoiding disqualification). Held his own to finish 4th at Chateauroux over 2100m on 15 September

Promising well-bred colt (a son of champion Roxanne Griff) who has revealed undeniable means/ability - the attraction of this event. Runner-up over 2950m at Le Mans on 27 July and is expected to go one better here

Eye-catching debut winner over 2500m at La Chartre-sur-le-Loir in August but has flattered to deceive since. Remains open to improvement so shouldn't be hastily condemned for his Meslay faux pas on 2 October

Capable trotter with sufficient means to find the frame. Finished an encouraging 5th after a 5-month absence at Nantes over 2275m on 27 September

Confirmed the form and improvement of his penultimate start (harness-race victory) with a good 3rd on his Vincennes/mounted debut over 2200m on 27 September. Dark horse

Debut winner at Abbeville in August and has confirmed that promise/improved in both subsequent outings, despite not adding to his tally. Acquitted himself well when 4th over 2150m at Enghien on 28 September
