Went close at La Capelle early-September but lacklustre last of 13, behind JESS D'HERTALS (13) in a 2700m Class E at La Capelle 2.5 weeks ago, and can be passed over

Showed the limits of her capacity when 7th of 11, behind JAVA DU CHERISAY (12), in a 2850m Laval Class E mid-September. Form is not in doubt though and even at this level, can get a look-in

Won on turf mid-September before running 5th of 10 in a 2850m Vincennes Class E 12 days later. Has never delivered here but, in current condition, is very easy to like

4th of 7 finishers, at 128/1, in a 2050m Laval Class E a fortnight ago. Is confirmed under the saddle here but, even racing barefoot, seems to have too much to do

Last of 11, when preparing for this, in a 2775m Class F at Les Sables-d’Olonne 3 weeks ago. Has merit but is still in conditioning-mode and can be disregarded

Quality Dutch mare that seldom leaves France empty-handed, most recently 4th of 13, behind JESS D'HERTALS (13) in a 2700m Class E at La Capelle 2.5 weeks ago, and will be competitive for the win

Sanctioned in a 2850m Lyon-Parilly Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Has been off the boil since winning at Feurs in June and must first re-establish her credentials

Twice failed to confirm her Cabourg success, most recently 5th of 14 in a 2200m Caen Class E 3 weeks ago. Arguably better racing clockwise but is in sufficiently good form to make her presence felt

Eased up, coming last of 11, in a 2700m Vincennes Class E a month ago. Just front pads fitted this time and others still easier to back

5th of 11 in a 2625m Agen Class F mid-September. Is confirmed in this category, is on way back up for new trainer, and Alexandre Abrivard already has form with her. Place chance

Made short work of a 2725m Pornichet Class D against the boys on 21 September. Takes on better this time but is not one to be overlooked. Possible spoiler

In the frame in last 3, latterly 3rd of 13, a place behind JESS D'HERTALS (13) in a 2700m Class E at La Capelle 2.5 weeks ago. Eric Raffin has kept faith which must be taken at face value. Chance

Ran 2nd at La Capelle before faulting early in a 2700m Class E at Le Croise-Laroche last week. Is never easy to gauge but a minor surprise is not out of the question
Mme Agnes Severs

Quality mare going left-handed for first time after faulting early in a 2150m Vichy Class E on 21 September. Stays shod for the occasion however and best to hold off
G Lessieu

Sanctioned twice before coming a reassuring 4th of 14 in a 2800m Tours Class F in 1 September. Has been held back for this and, on good behaviour, can bring home the bacon

Race Overview
She may not always be the easiest of horses to handle but JULIE DU CLOS (15) finds herself superbly-engaged at the limit of earnings and after having encouraged at Tours, looks a serious candidate for success. That said, JAVA DU CHERISAY (12) is plainly close to her race and will be no pushover. JOSEPHA MESLOISE (3) left a good impression recently on the Vincennes main track and the engagement of Yoann Lebourgeois will do her prospects no harm. JABELLINA (6) has solid French credentials, goes well for P-Y Verva, and must be considered a leading contender.
