Complicated she may be but (8) GINALA has buckets of ability. She has never disappointed when applied going clockwise and on good behaviour can win a race of this nature. She can still expect to meet opposition from the regular (7) GUINESS GRIFF who drops marginally in category for the occasion. (2) GEZA DES CAILLONS has just one blot on her copybook to date and showed a liking for the venue last time out. (3) GALINE ERCA has a good spot behind the car and can make amends for her latest disappointments.

In the frame in both starts so far (9) HOPPORTUN beat some good elements on both occasions and has a decent chance of getting off the mark this time. Prat can nevertheless expect to encounter resistance from debut winner (7) HAVANA DE VAL who dominated the good Headline at Bernay. The well-regarded (2) HEAVEN DE SIMM qualified nicely here during the spring and looks competitive on his career debut. (5) HUGO SPEED showed promise at Laval and can get in on the action.

(7) FASTANIA DE VIETTE has been simply superb in this branch of the business and looks set to pull off her sixth straight ridden success. Thomain would be wise to be wary of the delicate but talented (14) FRANKY SATYNE who has shown promise in the specialty. (9) FORAIN JENILOU is another tricky character but his ability is not in doubt and with application can go far. (16) FLORIANE can get in the thick of things if she reproduces here penultimate performance. (5) FOLLE LIAISON can improve on her latest effort here.

Like a horse reborn since early August (14) FIGOLU FRAZEEN met little opposition in his last three outings and looks capable of securing a fourth straight win. Stablemate (15) FRESH BIDDER has had time to freshen up following his Enghien disappointment and can be backed with confidence this time. After a pair of blips (16) FRANCE ESPERANCE got back down to business at Chartres and will be dangerous. (13) FLOWER BY MAGALOU will be reined by JMB again and merits credit.

Winner of his only start at the venue (9) ELIZIR DU HOME thrived over the summer. He benefits from a short spell and with shoes off for the occasion can get straight back down to business. Monclin will nevertheless want to keep a watchful eye on the reinvigorated (10) EZALYO SMART who has already made his mark under these conditions. (6) ECUREUIL JENILOU tends to go well when unshod and his recent Lisieux prep can be ignored. (5) FIORENTINA SOMOLLI has references at a superior level and racing unshod all four will have her chances.
Consistently in the thick of things and thrives under the saddle at Caen. Beaten only by a very good horse at Enghien and may well be the joker in the pack

One of the classiest horses in the field (11) COLT DES ESSARTS gets to take his chances under the saddle for the first time aged seven and if ability transitions should have this in the bag. There will however be considerable opposition from the ultra-consistent (10) BANJO DE LA NOEMIE who drops marginally in category. (2) BOSTON TERRIE has taken little time getting back in the game and should also figure prominently. (7) BARACK returns to a more reasonable level and will have his chances.
Occasionally tricky but otherwise a classy mare. Unbeaten in two here and with the inside line can complement her latest Laval success

Winner of both starts at Caen (1) DIVINE MESLOISE is very hard to knock when barefoot and after convincing at Laval last time looks eminently capable of doubling her money. (3) COSTA HAUFOR has previously beaten her and if fully fit can again give her a run for her money. M.Abrivard has given (6) DIEGO SAUTONNE ample time to get into shape and his recent Vincennes effort was better than the result would suggest. (7) CYRIEL D'ATOM has references at this level and Nivard will have been encouraged by his recent Mons performance. (10) CLEDERE DE L'AIROU starts on the second line but is clearly in decent shape and must be respected.

(17) BUGSY MALONE can be considered unlucky not to have imposed in a Meslay Gr.3 earlier this month and even though incurring a 50m penalty this time he can still set the record straight. He is unlikely to have it all his own way though given the presence of (16) LOOKING SUPERB who is 25m better off. The serious (5) NANCY AMERICA showed her form at Vincennes a fortnight ago and breaking in front will have a lot to offer. Recent second over shorter here and runner-up in 2018 (7) DIRECT WAY will also have his chances. (3) COPERNIC DE PLAY can pick up some scraps.
