Last of 12, behind GIPSY DE CHAMANT (9), in a 2750m Class D at La Capelle 2.5 weeks ago, and will have nothing to offer

Hardy sort that ran a solid 2nd of 12 in a 2725m Graignes Class E on 2 September but goes shod this time and best to hold off

Pleasant 4th of 13 in a 2600m Cherbourg Gr.3 on 25 September. Consistently in thick of things when focused and looks a solid first-5 prospect

Race Overview
Second only to a very good horse here recently, HEADSCOTT (7) has solid credentials under these conditions and, even from the 2nd line, still looks the one to beat. Barefoot for the occasion, HAVE SEVEN (12) may not be everyone's cup of tea but he showed his form here last month and, considering the entry, Nicolas Bazire is unlikely to let the opportunity pass him by. HARRY CARISAIE (11) simply excels with Eric Raffin and, shod to preference, has legitimate claims on a podium-place. HUBBLE DU VIVIER (8) has 2 races under his belt, sports front pads, and 3 times a runner-up over 2850m on the main track, will not be far off the mark.
Selection:
7 - 12 - 11
