Lost his way/form after winning a course-and-distance handicap in March. Unplaced (8th) over track and trip on 25 September but has dropped below his last-winning mark

Soundly beaten in consecutive handicap appearances recently, the latest (13th) over this track and trip on 25 September. Best watched for now

Took advantage of a drop in the weights/ratings to finish 2nd in a minor 1500m Class 4 conditions race at Vannes on 21 September with this headgear refitted. Must build on that improvement to have a say

Consistent performer in his native Belgium but has struggled in France. Returns for another crack on French soil after a reassuring 2nd in a 1500m PSF handicap at Mons on 10 September - unlikely

Unplaced in 7 appearances, the latest (11th) in a 1600m handicap at ParisLongchamp on 9 September. Others preferred

Hard-knocking veteran handicapper seldom far off the mark, despite growing long in the tooth. Didn't go unnoticed when finishing 5th in the reference race over track and trip on 25 September

Course-and-distance winner of a similar contest in June and has maintained form/consistency under a penalty (this mark) in 4 subsequent starts - the latest (4th) in an 1100m claimer on 19 September

Unreliable handicapper (21-start maiden) seldom far off the mark on a going day. Unlikely to trouble the judge on the evidence of her last-start 8th in an 1800m PSF handicap at Chantilly on 26 September

Rejuvenated veteran handicapper in good form and physical condition. Finished 2nd in 4 consecutive starts before winning a 1400m handicap at Le Mans last month and followed up with a good 2nd over track and trip (under a penalty/off this mark) in the benchmark event on 25 September

Consistent handicapper with sound references/form credentials. Fluffed her lines in the benchmark event (9th) over course and distance on 25 September but shouldn't be hastily condemned - keep safe

A long-time maiden (22 starts) with sound references and sufficient means to fight for victory, having finished 4th in the course-and-distance benchmark event on 25 September. Marie Velon's claim helps
