Returns to ridden code after finishing last of 8 in a 2300m Class H at Montier-en-Der on 8 September, and has no realistic chance

Showed a different side 3 weeks ago when 3rd of 9, a place behind LUCIOLA DE LOU (9), in a 2775m Class F at Les Sables-d’Olonne. Takes on a tougher bunch this time and others easier to back
D Passard

Debuts at Enghien after running 5th of 7 in a 2200m Vincennes Class D on 1 September. Sports 4 pads for first time though and should be good enough to challenge for a spot on the podium
O Leroy

Finished 3rd at Cabourg before faulting in a 2450m Caen Class E on 21 September. Is not without merit but on this occasion has too much to do
G Doumont

Sanctioned, on return to competition, in a 2725m Lisieux harness Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Pads fitted this time, with Paul Ploquin in the saddle and, while not a priority, should still acquit herself honourably
Ecurie Haras Des Quatre Vents

Sanctioned in last 2, latterly a 2850m Laval Class F 2 weeks ago. Competitively-shod, with Eric Raffin reining, she has the ingredients for success
Ecurie Arnaud Desmottes

2nd of 9 finishers in a 2450m Vic-Fezensac harness Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Pleased on lone start under the saddle but seems to be biting off more than she can chew
D Benchetrit

Has not been seen out since faulting in a 2200m Vincennes Class D on 25 June. Shoes on for re-entry, with Mathieu Mottier riding, and will be no easy touch if she stays in stride
Mme Cl Lenoir

Has done nothing but improve since switching codes, most recently 2nd of 9 in a 2775m Class F at Les Sables-d’Olonne 3 weeks ago. Takes a notable step up in category though and looks more a minor place chance this time

Ran 3rd at Les Sables before finishing 9th of 13, behind LILOU TREMBLADAISE (12), in a 2450m Caen harness Class E 3 weeks ago. Faces first objective of the autumn and is unlikely to let the side down
Ecurie Eclair

Sanctioned, on re-entry 11 days ago, in a 2950m Saint-Malo harness Class E. Is made for this code though and can make a big splash if Jean-Yann Ricart keeps her trotting
Sebastien Chevalier

Placed twice before coming 4th of 13 in a 2450m Caen harness Class E 3 weeks ago. Has evident talent and debuts in the discipline with a realistic chance of getting off the mark

Race Overview
A filly with bags of untapped potential, LEA DE FROULAY (6) is fitted with pads for the first time and, with Eric Raffin in the irons, can finally get that maiden monkey off her back. LYXIE KNIGHT (11) has a similar profile under harness but switches code and, if given the opportunity, could well snap this up. LILOU TREMBLADAISE (12) has shown considerable promise under harness and Alexis Collette gets the nod for her monte bow. More than respectable across town recently, LEXA DE LA CROIX (3) should take well to the Enghien profile and, sporting pads for the occasion, is unlikely to disappoint.
Selection:
6 - 11 - 12
