Track-specialist GLICOURT (8) knows this straight course like the back of his hand. He finished behind INVIOLABLE SPIRIT (7) in a handicap over 1100m at Chantilly earlier this month but is good value to turn the tables on that rival, who hasn't won for almost two years. RISKI CHOPE (5) is enjoying a good spell and should remain competitive for the leading places. COOLMEEN ROYAL (9) has also performed well on this track and isn't underestimated either, judged on the strength and consistency of his recent form.
Inconsistent 11-start maiden but has sufficient means to make her presence felt - seldom far off the mark on a going day. Didn't go unnoticed when 7th in a 2500m ParisLongchamp handicap on 1 September

Improved in first-time headgear to finish an encouraging 4th on her handicap/PSF debut over 1900m at Chantilly on 3 September. Closely matched on that form with NICE RULER (8) so she should be factor here

NICE RULER (8) has improved with each handicap appearance and, on the evidence of his fast-finishing 3rd over 1900m on PSF last time, this extended trip could unlock sufficient progress for him to open his account. However, HOLLY PHELIE (2) is closely matched on that form (finished a neck behind the selection) so she will pose a threat. TOTE BAG (12) will fare better over this distance after a disappointing last start over an inadequate trip, so he isn't underestimated. SHALAA DANCER (11) is the only last-start winner in the race and he ought to remain competitive despite a resultant penalty.
Supplemented for this race and is Ideally engaged/favourably treated under the conditions. Acquitted herself well in defeat when 3rd in a 1600m conditions race at Vichy on 23 August - will appreciate this shorter trip

Much was expected of MISS LACOUMA (1) over 1600m at Vichy late last month but she didn't meet expectations, though she did acquit herself well (3rd) in defeat. She will appreciate reverting to this shorter distance and was supplemented for this race, so is good value to make amends at the primary expense of EAGLE GATE (4) who is favourably treated under the conditions in his first start for new connections. BLUE HUNT (3) and FISFUL OF LOVE (6) are contenders for the remaining podium berth.

COLOMBIER (3) made an impressive winning return on French soil at Le Lion d'Angers last month and his momentum is unlikely to be halted. He will, however, have to thwart the likely challenges of LANAKEN (4), who is steadily regaining his form, and TOIJK (2) who need only produce a similar display to that of his Quinte+ performance on 25 August to play a leading role. GAILLARD (1) completes the shortlist.

Successful at Toulouse last week, Loeiza Hayeres Fouchard and the in-form DELTA SPIRIT (1) are good value to add to their tally. Veteran mare ZARICA (7) will pose a threat if confirming the form/improvement of her last start. She leads the opposition ahead of CARTER AND GO (5), whose back-to-back 3rd-place finishes give her a solid shout here, and PANJAMAN (2) with skillful Berit Weber in the irons.

DAPANGO (1) got his career back on track with a morale-boosting claiming race victory in his first appearance on French soil and he ought to continue his momentum. TOLLEVAST (2) finished behind the selection at Dieppe last time and he renews rivalry with legitimate ambitions podium aspirations. LOUBEISIEN (7) and NAVARE (3) are inconsistent but will be competitive for a spot on the podium.

FREEZE (5) wasn't winning out of turn when scoring easily at Vittel early last month before proving his competitiveness off this mark (under a resultant penalty) by subsequently running well to finish 2nd at Clairefontaine. He remains open to improvement over this extended trip so gets the nod ahead of KEEP GOING (6) who has acquitted himself well enough in both comeback runs to make life difficult for the selection. HEAREN (3) and ARTUS THE BRAVE (4) have both the form and experience to get involved.
