Makes first appearance since finishing 10th of 13 in a 2150m Enghien Class F on 31 July. Has obvious merit but has been let go by Raffin; the draw, however, will do his prospects no disservice

2nd of 5 over 2840m at Mons 3 weeks ago. Set her personal-best time running 2nd under these conditions during the spring and, although not-ideally-drawn, can still figure prominently

Race Overview
Tough Swedish mare, ILIADE (SWE) (6) may not have been seen out since late-July but she is barefoot for her comeback, has never disappointed under these conditions, and is well-placed to win this. Alexandre Abrivard will nevertheless be keeping a watchful eye on his mare's compatriot, LUCKY GUY BOKO (2), who returns to Paris on a hat-trick, and recent Enghien winner, OBLIVION (14), who still looks dangerous despite the draw. Entrusted to Paul Ploquin for the first time, the on-form ONE LOVE BIANCA (10) is proven over course and distance, and sports a fresh configuration for the occasion.
