Sanctioned in last 2, most recently a 2725m Pornichet Class D 3 weeks ago. Has never failed to deliver here, showed last time he was clearly in form, and must be respected

Oddly out of sorts when last but one in a 2700m Class C here on 22 September. Is confirmed over 2850m on main track though and should not be entirely written off

Unbeaten in 3 since starting to race barefoot. Won a 2150m Enghien Class D across town 2 months ago but sports pads for the occasion and best to hold off

Made up for Vincennes sanction when comfortably winning a 2950m Toulouse Class C a fortnight ago. Has placed just once in 5 here and, in this category of race, will have too much to do

Reassuring 2nd of 13 finishers in a 2725m Pornichet Class D 3 weeks ago. Competitively-shod on this occasion, with Benjamin Rochard reining, and is not about to go home empty-handed

3rd of 14 in a Class D over track and trip a week ago. Has been knocking at the door since late-July but, in this company, will find the going tough

2nd of 10 in a Class D over course and distance 2 weeks ago. Goes well for Franck Nivard and should figure prominently if he keeps his charge trotting

Encountered no opposition en route to victory in a Class D over course and distance early-September. In better company this time but still looks a serious proposition

Came close to opening his Vincennes account when headed in a 2100m Class D here late-August. Is comfortable over 2850m and given his form, it is very easy to make a case

Should not be too hastily-judged for coming 10th of 13 in a 2700m Class C here on 22 September. Will be fully-fit by now, has twice imposed at the venue, and is unlikely to be far from the action

Pleased at Vittel before running 9th of 11 in a 2700m Class C here 3 weeks ago. Benefits from a fine entry and Leo Abrivard will be keen to capitalise. Minor place chance

Race Overview
A tough nut to crack when barefoot and focused, JALENDRA DE MALAC (9) won a mares-only event over shorter here last month, with utter superiority, and should have the measure of the males too this time. JEREMY D'AS (12), however, is a model of consistency, won over track and trip last time out, and will similarly have his chances. Just as reliably-performant, JAGUAR DU FAN (13) has all the ingredients necessary to make a big splash, and it is worth throwing the complicated but capable JOTUNN DU DOME (2) into the mix.
Selection:
9 - 12 - 13
