Good class of trotter that has returned to competition in cracking form, latterly 3rd of 10 in a 2100m Vincennes Class D 3.5 weeks ago. Has nothing to prove at this level and, from the 2-spot, can win this

Tough Swedish import that has taken well to French conditions, most recently winning a 2750m Angouleme Class E 10 days ago, and with Benjamin Rochard in the bike, can repeat

In cracking form since the spring, latterly rewarded with victory in a 2750m Ecommoy Class E on 22 September and, 3 times a winner from 4 starts here, must be taken seriously

Makes Cabourg debut after trotting 9th of 14, behind MISTER INVICTUS (6), in a 2875m Meslay monte Class F a fortnight ago. Not the easiest to gauge but, if focused, can get back in the game

Reassuring 2nd of 12, ahead of IPSO D'AVIGNERE (11), in a 2550m Dieppe Class F a month ago. Front pads fitted, and the engagement of Yoann Lebourgeois will do her prospects no disservice

7th of 10, on return from his spell, in a 2750m Ecommoy Class E on 22 September. Has solid references here, goes barefoot for the occasion, and can play a part if Cedric Terry successfully navigates the start

Pleasant 4th of 13 in a Class E over course and distance earlier this month. Has pulled a poor draw and, in this company, will have too much to do

Race Overview
Although not always the most compliant of horses, SIDNEY CELEBER (2) gave a reassuringly-good account in Paris last time and, already a winner at Argentan this term, should be good enough to impose. Marginally better-placed behind the car, compatriot LOADED LEILA (3) opened her French account at Angouleme earlier in the month and will be no easy touch. As good in one code as the other, MISTER INVICTUS (6) won here last July and most recently made quite an impact on re-entry. A model of consistently lately, and proven at Cabourg, IPSO D'AVIGNERE (11) will not be too inconvenienced by the draw, and will have his chances.
