LORD DE VANDEL (5) and LIPTON DU NOYER (4) set the standard here and constitute a solid base for support - neither would be winning out of turn.

MANASLU (8) was beaten on the wire at Vincennes last time and needn't improve much to reconnect with success. However, he will be tested by well-bred MEWTWO (4) who caught the eye on debut at Cholet and would've improved with the benefit of that experience. MILORD JAVRONNAIS (3), associated with Eric Raffin, and MOTTEAUX DAIRPET (7) also have the means to fight for a podium berth. Good race!

A toss-up between FALCAO DE CHENU (9), whose efficiency/competitiveness in this category is beyond doubt, and GOLIATH DU CAUX (12), whose winning turn is near. GASSMAN D'ESSA (1) and EIGHT (3) are proven at this level and should acquit themselves competitively, too. FAN DE PHYT'S (2), on his return to this level, EDEN DE L'ITON (5), back on the right track, and EASY BLEU (4), not to be condemned for his recent failure in the climb, aren't underestimated either. Tricky!
Returned to form with a reassuring last-start 3rd over 2850m at Laval on 5 October. More to do at this level

KRACK DESBOIS (5), whose recent comeback (unlucky 4th) would've done him any amount of good, and KARAT DE BUSSET (6), whose last start (9th) at Vincennes doesn't accurately reflect his form/ability, are legitimate candidates for success. KENAVO (8) must be respected in his first start under the saddle. KIKI DU ROC (11) is ideally entered under the conditions and is also competitive. KING DE PLAY (4), improving in this specialty, and barefoot KLASSIC FROMENTRO (7), on his return from a break, appeal most of the remainder.
