1

Kapetanios

He ran a fair race at a big price to be fourth at Vichy last time and not impossible if he can build on that.

2

Reventador

Has primarily contested claiming races this season (won at ParisLongchamp two starts back) and his is a consistent profile.

3

Hernan Cortes

Below par on his last two starts but not without a chance if recapturing the form he showed in the spring.

4

Talk Show

The winner of a Class 3 race over 2200m in March, the gelding has been continually thereabouts. Steps back in trip.

5

Sweep Away

Has hardly proved a force on turf on his last two starts, but the switch to the all-weather (a second in February) could prove beneficial.

6

Ker Welen

Continues to hold his form well and a game second in Class 3 handicap at Le Lion D'angers highlighted his consistency.

7

Havana Six

Tends to reserve her best for this track (a course winner in November) and a fair fifth here on latest appearance.

8

Captain De Cerisy

Has already delivered at this level in May and not beaten far (under two lengths into fifth) on his last start.

9

Red Grace

The provincial winner has been kept very busy this season (ten starts) and the mare could prove troublesome off current mark.

10

Furi De La Houssay

Still a maiden after 12 attempts but she has shown enough ability on the Parisian/Deauville circuits to enter calculations.

11

Everman

Is enjoying his most productive campaign to date, including  wins at Cagnes-sur-Mer and Marseille Borely, but will need to defy his raised handicap mark.

12

Chubasco

Defied odds of 9-1 to score a course and distance win in July and is set up nicely for this.

13

Grecian Star

No winner from nine starts this season although his second (beaten half a length) last start at Vichy was far more encouraging.

14

Golden River

Something of an all-weather specialist at Pornichet (three wins) but her fitness needs to be taken on trust as she’s unraced since March.

15

Dark Zel

Won over course and distance in the winter and some encouragement to be had from her last time out fourth at Clairefontaine.

16

Harrison Point

Is enjoying a decent run following two wins on the all-weather and plenty to like about his last time out second here.
