Occasionally indisciplined she may be but (11) GISELA showed her form under harness at Laval recently and can make her ridden debut a winning one. She will however be taking on the improving (16) GRETA who imposed with ease at Reims last weekend. (18) GEORGIA ON MY MIND showed significant ability last season and even though unraced since the winter she gets an Eric Raffin ride and must be respected. (1) GREVILLE will be dangerous if she reproduces the effort she put in when qualifying. (12) GLORIA DIGEO is clearly in form and can play a role if she maintains stride.

Simply dynamic in both codes this summer (17) FRENCH KAT makes his Caen debut on a hat-trick and with shoes off again looks eminently capable of pulling it off. (16) FEARLESS JIEL lost his action here recently but is evidently in form and with application can go close. (15) FETARD has struggled somewhat of late but has nothing to prove either at the venue or at this level and if focused can figure prominently. The delicate (10) FISTON A PAPA has won two of the four races he has finished and from the front line will have his chances. (18) FUTE BUROIS has never failed to deliver at Caen and if fully fit can give this a good go.

Sanctioned more often than not he may have been but (18) FLAMION CARISAIE gave a superb account to hold off the similarly tricky (5) FASCINANT over course and distance a fortnight ago and with application can repeat. (3) FUN FOR JET is another capricious trotter but he left a fine impression here early September and on good behaviour will not be far off the mark. (8) FARCEUR DE MAI finished a place behind him that day before confirming two weeks ago and should again figure prominently but may first have to defer to (13) FUEGO DE LIGNY who has won two of his last three ridden races.

Reliability may not be (9) EROS DU RIB's strong suit but he showed his form at Cherbourg recently and breaking in front with shoes off for the first time can get back to winning ways. (15) EPSILON JIEL is 25m worse off but he won in style over course and distance late last month and can put on another good show. (4) EAGLE DE VAUVILLE has been very hard to fault lately and can make it a 4th straight podium finish. (6) EAULYMPIK CEHERE returns to a more realistic category following his honest Vincennes effort and will have his chances. (7) EMIR PERRINE has good references at this level and Barrier has maintained faith.

Firing on all cylinders lately (13) DARK DREAM drops back in category following a good effort at Cabourg and should have the measure of his elders. The ultra-consistent (6) CASPER has however been specifically prepared for this and looks a major player on his Caen debut. (10) COQ DE L'INAM is reunited with Maxime Tijou with whom he won smartly at Amiens earlier in the summer.

Facile winner over course and distance a fortnight ago (10) GOOD JOB steps marginally up in class but can still double his money. Yoann Lebourgeois will nevertheless be wary of the consistent (9) GREAT TIGRESS who most recently went close in a Craon Class B. (5) GOLDEN LOVE could manage only sixth that day but had won two of the previous three and if focused can go close. Fifth in both starts here (14) GALAXIE DE TILLARD got off the mark last time out and should have a good hand to play.

At the top of his game since late May and excellent going right-handed (11) DEFI ORAGEUX makes his first appearance at Caen but breaks in front is barefoot for the occasion and can confirm his recent Nancy success. As for (8) DON HUBERTO he has hardly stepped a foot out of line this season and given his liking for these conditions will be dangerous. (7) DIDILBERT is back at his best since starting to race unshod and looks thoroughly capable of making the frame once more. (17) DONATO PIERJI incurs the penalty but is barefoot with M.Abrivard in charge and can give this a good go. (13) DIVIN DU RENOUARD is well in on the first line and going unshod all four will do his prospects no disservice.

Has placed just once in four since the break but in more reasonable company this time and can apply the pressure on (16) DIRECT WAY
Not once out of the first two here (16) DIRECT WAY showed his form in a Vincennes Gr.3 late last month and looks eminently capable of winning this. (17) DRAGON DES RACQUES was not at his best that day but can play an important role if he reproduces his penultimate performance. (9) CESARIO BELLO caught the eye at Reims last time out and the 25m head-start can only work to his advantage. Barring the occasional lack of focus (6) CALINO BELLO is a model of consistency and his form is not in doubt. The useful (7) BRAQUO returns to racing barefoot and can get back in the game.
