13th of 15, on 2nd start back, in a 2700m Class E at Le Croise-Laroche a fortnight ago. Faces first objective of new season with a somewhat unattractive draw but still looks principal danger to JOURNAL INTIME (7)

Pleasant 4th of 9 in a 2775m monte Class E at Les Sables-d’Olonne early last month. Enjoys a good entry, with Pierre-Yves Verva reining, and is unlikely to be going home empty-handed

Encouraged in a claimer over course and distance before running 8th in Le Croise-Laroche race of reference. Good spot in front but others still easier to back

Has 2 races under his belt following a long absence, latterly 12th of 15 in a 2700m Class E at Le Croise-Laroche a fortnight ago. Shod this time, but has form at a superior level, and should not be written off

Fine servant that ran 3rd of 9 in a 2050m Laval Class E 3 weeks ago, making up for Vire clinker. Has good speed and gets a 2nd chance to crack the Enghien code
P A Rynwalt-boulard

Sanctioned in a 2050m Laval Class E 3 weeks ago. Won under these conditions for Eric Raffin last season but is shod this time and latest form does little to impress

Made it 2 victories on the trot when winning a 2150m Vichy Class E on 21 September. Is new to the venue but has been too impressive of late not to garner the lion's share of support

Ran 3rd at Vincennes before coming 4th of 9 in a 2050m Laval Class E 3 weeks ago. Gets a leading driver here and, despite the wide draw, still looks competitive for a place in the frame

Won 2 in a row before running 3rd of 7, behind JOURNAL INTIME (7), in a 2150m Vichy Class E on 21 September. Thrives with Benjamin Rochard and will be no easy touch if he takes to new profile
A Marion

Sanctioned in last 2, latterly a 2400m Amiens Class E 12 days ago. Has evident ability but still not an obvious choice

Came 2nd at Ecommoy before winning a 2400m Amiens Class E 12 days ago. In better company this time, and breaks from the rear, but still has the capacity to eke out a cheque

Won a 2500m Bihorel-les-Rouen Class F on 8 September, his first since imposing over track and trip 2 years ago. In this category though, has no realistic chance
Stijn Buyl

Respectable 7th of 15 in a 2750m Cabourg Class E 2 weeks ago. Has not got his nose in front for over a year and, even shod to preference, is not about to buck the trend

Race Overview
Enjoying something of a renaissance since July, JOURNAL INTIME (7) is reunited with Eric Raffin who imposed with him at Les Sables, and is sufficiently well-positioned to win this. Significantly better than recent numbers would suggest, JAFAR DE FAEL (1) has already won for Matthieu Abrivard and, barefoot this time, can give Antoine Marion's horse a run for his money. Barring his Vire blip, JUGEMENT D'AVE (5) has been in flying form and, from the 5-spot, Yoann Lebourgeois will be justifiably confident of a big run. JAMSHIR (8) appears to be nearing his best, sports a new configuration, and the engagement of Alexandre Abrivard will do his prospects no harm.
