Consistent and versatile filly with sound references in handicaps on both surfaces. Shouldn't be hastily condemned for a recent failure (10th) in a 1900m Quinte+ on PSF Chantilly on 1 October - not taken lightly

Hard-knocking handicapper and last-start winner of a 2100m handicap at Marseille-Borely on 28 September

Absent since finishing 3rd at Vichy over 1850m on 19 August. Lightly raced gelding open to improvement on his reappearance

Honest hard-knocker with sound references in handicaps off a higher mark. Proved her form and well-being with a 2nd at Hyeres over 1850m on 29 September

New addition to Christophe Escuder's stable. Finished unplaced (9th) in a 1200m Marseille-Borely handicap on 2 September - headgear worn that day dispensed with

A model of consistency since fitted with this headgear and should continue her momentum after a pleasing last-start 3rd in a 2100m turf handicap at Marseille-Borely on 28 September. High on the shortlist

Won a 1900m PSF handicap at Deauville in July and finished 3rd in both subsequent starts under a penalty (current mark), the latest over 1900m in a PSF handicap at Chantilly on 7 September. Candidate for success

Won a 2000m Vichy handicap in August but struggled under a penalty in 2 subsequent starts, finished 8th on both occasions - the latest in a 2100m handicap at Marseille-Borely on 28 September. Others preferred

Unplaced and soundly beaten in 3 consecutive recent appearances, the latest (10th) in a 2000m handicap at Vichy on 23 September
