5th of 11 finishers, at 38/1, in a 2150m Enghien Class E last week. Not the most generous horses here and looks out of her depth

Complicated element that finished a reassuring 2nd of 10 in a 2550m Beaumont Class D 10 days ago. Fitted with 4 pads for first time and will not be far off the mark if Frederic Clozier keeps him focused

10th of 12 when preparing for this, behind ENTRE AMIS (12), in a 2550m Beaumont Class A 10 days ago. Has nothing to prove in this category and looks competitive for the win

It has been a whopping 900 days since GIROLAMO (14) last got his nose in front, but he has clearly started to make moves and even from the back line, can get that particular monkey off his back. He will be opposed though by second-row starters HAPPYJO DE LIGNY (13), who has 2 races under his belt since the summer break, and a barefoot GARDNER SHAW (15) who will be partnered by Alexandre Abrivard for the first time. 25m better off and as dependably-performant as they come, HULK DE TILLARD (7) has never finished closer than 5th here but in current form is very easy to like.
8th of 14, to IS GOOD DU JAYLE (5), in a 2575m amateurs Class G here mid-September and will again have little to contribute

A tough nut to crack when barefoot and focused, GIANA DE CAZOULENE (8) was most impressive here mid-September and in similar form, can prevail over the in-form, and Agen-loving, HONORE LE FOL (14) who races shod this time. Very competitive in the amateur division, FLEUR D'ACADIE (7) has hind shoes off this time, and should improve on her recent 5th place to Florian Julien's mare. Twice an amateur winner this year, GENTLE DREAM (12) is not always the most reliable of horses but, with application, can make his presence felt.
6th of 9 in a 2325m Toulouse Class F on 27 September. Front pads fitted but still has too much to do

Nicely in on the front line, NINEPOINTS LASSE (5) has not been beaten in the discipline when barefoot and, clearly in form, can make up for his recent harness sanction. Alexandre Abrivard will still be justifiably wary of second-line starter, IMAGINE D'ATOUT (8), who got straight back down to business on re-entry, and the better-positioned GO FOR BELLAY (4) who has turned a corner recently. HERMES ANGEL (9) boasts fine credentials in this branch of the business, placed on his only ridden start here, and will not be far off the mark.

A 25m advantage can make all the difference to LOUP INDIEN (7) this time as he endeavours to return to winning ways after running 4th, on re-entry, to LE MAGICIEN (11) who secured himself the hat-trick that day. Winner at Grenade before confirming at Toulouse last month, LUKE SKYWALKER (12) will again have his chances, even from the 2nd tier. LAZIZA DE LIGNY (3) won 3 in a row before faulting last time out, but receives a Matthieu Abrivard drive for the occasion and is unlikely to disappoint.
Ran 4th at Borely before being sanctioned in a 3000m Class D at Salon-de-Provence earlier this month. Has solid clockwise references though and could well get a look-in

Reinvigorated over recent months, ASTRONASCENTE ZAC (4) recently dominated over 2850m at Vincennes and is ideally-positioned to repeat. Arguably a better horse, HERMES SMART (13) is forced to start on the 2nd line, but has solid Agen credentials and still looks dangerous. INDUS VAL (14) has simply thrived this year and will not be bothered by the change of direction. Back under harness after a productive run of form in the other code, FERRERO DU LOISIR (3) has been handed a decent spot behind the car and Benjamin Rochard is unlikely to let the opportunity pass him by.
Imposed over course and distance before being sent for a break. Yet to convince this term, most recently sanctioned in a 2400m Beaumont Class D 10 days ago, and even though shod as he was when successful here, others still easier to back

Justifiably well-regarded filly that came a flying 5th of 14 in a 2800m Class B at Le Croise-Laroche on 2 September. Gets on well with her driver and will have a claims on the win
Returned to winning ways in a 2800m Chartres Class B last week. Is new to the venue, starts on 2nd row, but has fine clockwise credentials and will be no pushover

Returns to racing right-handed after finishing 6th of 11 in a 2825m Parilly Class B a fortnight ago, and can get in on the action if he a) reproduces latest Toulouse performance and b) somehow negates the handicap

Gr-1-placed colt that was not the luckiest when 7th of 12 finishers in a 2850m Vincennes Gr.1 mid-September. Forced to break from 3rd row but has the class to win this

KARLITO (11) put on a good show to finish 4th in the Criterium des 4 Ans and, even penalised 50m here, he has just hind pads fitted this time but nonetheless has the wherewithal to defy the handicap and impose. That being said, KOTKIE (8) is 25m better off, reverts to her latest Vincennes configuration, and will be no easy touch. KING DRY (3) has won 2 of his last 3 and looks competitive once more. KARAKA WOOD (9) opened her autumn account just last week and a similar performance would see her go close again.
Has started to come good again, most recently 3rd of 13 in a 2100m Vincennes Gr.1 on 11 September, and despite a poor draw, can nevertheless play a leading role

Unraced since finishing 12th of 16 in Gr.2 Prix Bourbonnais last December. Is one of the toughest nuts here, has won at the venue [2017], and can make first 5

Back under harness after running 2nd of 9 to FULTON (8) in a 2175m Vincennes monte Gr.2 early last month. Is plainly on a good streak and can play a small role if form transitions

Finished a well-beaten last of 13, behind HOOKER BERRY (1), in a 2100m Vincennes Gr.1 on 11 September. Unlikely to cause an upset but can still get a look-in

Quality mare that should not be hastily-judged for coming 11th of 13 behind HOOKER BERRY (1) in a 2100m Vincennes Gr.1 on 11 October. Has excellent speed, goes over any trip, and will be no soft touch

Winner of the Criterium de Vitesse de Basse Normandie at Argentan during the summer, JUST A GIGOLO (5) may not have been as sharp since but he goes barefoot this time and is ideally-positioned to bag another black-type win. Benjamin Rochard will still want to be wary of HOOKER BERRY (1) who showed in the Gr.1 UET Elite Circuit Finale recently that he is very much in attendance these days, and a reconfigured JUST LOVE YOU (6) who finished a surprising, but eye-catching, 3rd in the Gr.1 Criterium des 5 Ans mid-September. Occasionally unfocused but otherwise a tough veteran mare, EMERAUDE DE BAIS (7) should find these conditions more to her liking.
8th of 10, behind JAVANAISE DE FARS (9), in a 2400m Beaumont Class E early-September. Just front pads fitted this time and not an obvious choice

Produced a pair of good runs before finishing 7th of 10 finishers in a 2850m Parilly Class C a fortnight ago. Is better than that though and his trainer will be justifiably out for redemption

Made up for Fleurance performance when 4th of 9 finishers in a 2950m Toulouse Class C on 20 September. Handed a front-row draw, likes Agen, but not a contender this time

Like a horse reborn this year, JOKER DU MATCH (6) makes his Agen debut after prepping in Paris and will take all the beating if he takes to Agen conditions. Starting wide on his outside, JALACTIC (8) enjoys a very good entry and Matthias Legros will be eager to capitalise. Runner-up in her last 3 starts, JOYEUSE DE LAVANCE (12) is confirmed here, has been entrusted to Matthieu Abrivard, and will be competitive for a first-3 place. A winner here earlier in the year, JOSS AIMEF (5) should be fit by now, races unshod-behind, and Eric Audebert could not have asked for a better draw.
