4th behind EXTREME DESBOIS (3) in 22 September race of reference. Will have progressed for the run but is taking on too much this time around

Last of 9, on first start since the layoff, in a 2600m Cherbourg Class A on 25 September, and has no realistic chance

Won 3 of last 4 races he has finished, latterly 2nd of 8 in 2850m Gr.1 Prix Georges Dreux on 22 September and, if applied, can go one better this time

Remarkably consistent this year, most recently running 2nd to EXTREME DESBOIS (3) in 2875m Gr.2 at Enghien 2 months ago. Has freshness on his side and, excellent under these conditions this season, must be respected

Placed at Cagnes before trotting 5th of 8, under harness, over 2350m at Avenches mid-September. Has decent Vincennes references but others still preferred

Debuted nicely under the saddle on 24 August, coming runner-up to EXTREME DESBOIS (3) here late-August. Finished 6th of 12 in a 2875m Gr.3 at Meslay-du-Maine 9 days ago and looks to have a good hand to play

10th of 12, on return to competition, in a 2850m Parilly Gr.3 on 18 September. Sports 4 pads this time but still not an obvious choice

5th of 7, behind EXTREME DESBOIS (3), in 2850m Gr.1 Prix Georges Dreux on 22 September. Is considerably better than that though and has a good opportunity to redeem himself

Back under the saddle after coming 2nd of 13 in a 2600m Cherbourg harness Gr.3 on 25 September. Has little experience in the code, unlike her jockey, who will be expected to guide him into the mix

Game trotter that finished 3rd, a place behind EXTREME DESBOIS (3), in 2850m Gr.1 Prix Georges Dreux on 22 September. Current title-holder, and Camille Levesque will be legitimately out for revenge. Claim

Race Overview
Winner of this race 12 months ago, and nicely-engaged here, FILWELL (10) will attempt to turn the tables on this year's monte revelation, EXTREME DESBOIS (3) who finished close in the Gr.2 Prix Camille Lepecq, only to be disqualified. Runner-up to Benjamin Goetz's veteran here late-August, HARLEM DE BUCY (6) makes just her 2nd public appearance under the saddle, with hind shoes off, and is not one to be underestimated. Justifiably well-regarded at home, GRACE DU DIGEON (9) showed her form under harness last time out and returns to the monte discipline with a good hand to play.
