Made up for Cherbourg sanction when 4th of 9 in a 2150m Enghien Class D 2.5 weeks ago. In this company though, will need to find more

Disappointing since returning from her break, latterly sanctioned in a monte Class E over course and distance 10 days ago. Is clearly capable but others easier to trust

5th of 11 in a 2100m Class E here a week ago. One of the more consistent horses in the field, he placed on lone start under these conditions, and even with an extra 25m to travel, can finish in the thick of things

Good 3rd of 12 in a Class D over course and distance on 13 September. Mathieu Mottier reining this time and he will be eager to take advantage of front-line break

Made it 4 in a row when successful in a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine Class D on 2 September. Has just once delivered here but in current form is too easy to like. Claim

9th of 11, to ISOFOU DU CHENE (9), in a Class D over course and distance on 20 September, and even reverting to a previous formula, is not about to shake things up

11th of 15, when preparing for this, in a 2800m Rambouillet Class E mid-September. Shod as he was when placing under these conditions last winter, but still not a top-tier choice

Should not be too hastily-judged for coming last of 7 in a 2950m Vichy Class D mid-September. Is clearly in shape and has form here, but cannot be considered a priority

Ran 2nd over track and trip on re-entry before winning a Class D under similar conditions a month ago and, despite the handicap, still looks a major player

Quality campaigner that returned from his layoff 2 weeks ago, coming 11th of 13, to IBISCUS MAN (11), in a Class B over course and distance. Is still being conditioned however and best to keep one's powder dry

Ran 3rd in a Cherbourg Gr.3 last month before winning a Class B over course and distance 2 weeks ago. Will not be barefoot this time but can still get in on the action

Ran 5th behind HEDIC GEMA (14) mid-September before coming last of 11 behind her again a fortnight later in a 2700m Class D. Has solid references over track and trip though and should not be written off

Fine class of trotter that would arguably have finished closer than his 3rd of 11 in a Class C over course and distance 2.5 weeks ago had he not faulted early, and Benjamin Rochard will be keen to set the record straight

Race Overview
It's a tussle between the front and back lines here but preference nonetheless goes to ICARE DE PHYT'S (5) who returns to Paris on a 5-timer, and who enjoys a 25m advantage over HEDIC GEMA (14) who has been on a roll since the spring. ISOFOU DU CHENE (9) took no time getting back in the game following his 5 months' layoff and legitimately takes his chances in this category. IN EN VRIE (4) may not have had a break for over a year but he is still firing on all cylinders and, from the front row, deserves to take his chances.
Selection:
5 - 14 - 9
