GHAWAR (1) ran a cracker on debut and won't need to show massive improvement to take the spoils in this. CLAPTON (3) failed to fire on debut and needs to be given a second chance. He should show vast improvement. ALPHA JET (2) was a clear 2nd best on debut but would have tightened up and should prove to be a threat. COPAN (4) meets slightly tougher but will be a runner.

THORDIS (9) ran with promise on debut and is to sure to have tightened up from that effort. She will be suited to the step up in trip and could be a big player. CHAMPAGNE DANCER (5) found a couple to good last time out but is coming along the right way with racing and should deliver her best performance to date. SIEGLINDE (8) ran a below par race last time out but could get back on track if repeating her debut effort. INFANTERIA (12) is a newcomer that needs to kept safe if the market speaks in her favor.

MON OURAGAN (3) has done extremely well throughout his career and just continues to turn out solid performances. He will be right there at the finish again. SWISS BANK (5) brings the right type of form and should be one of the leading lights.

EUGENE SMITH (2) appears to be a talented sort that continues to go from strength to strength with each outing and showed his dominance last time out when winning. He holds a couple of these and should confirm the form. One to beat. NONANCOURT (8) has been knocking on the door for that maiden win and could be well placed to strike with a bit of luck in running. FEET OF FEAR (6) and ZINGARELLE (6) were beaten by the top pick last time out but could get closer at the weights.

This won't take much winning and a chance is taken on AS A CHARM (2) who won off a higher mark on this track last year. The same, however, applies to both ROYAL VATI (4) and TERANGA (8) whose chances shouldn't be underestimated. Track specialist SOLITARY MAN (10) also has the means to surprise off his current (reduced) mark back on the PSF. BIENNE (3) is another with legitimate podium aspirations.

Has struggled in handicaps this year and finished unplaced (11th) over 1600m at Toulouse last month (25 September). Others more persuasive

Continues to blow hot and cold but her efficiency/competitiveness in handicaps at this venue/on PSF is beyond doubt. Didn't go unnoticed when 6th in a 1600m Toulouse handicap on 25 September

An 11-start maiden soundly beaten/unplaced in all 4 appearances on French soil, the latest (11th) over 1200m at Dax on 29 September. Hard to recommend

Inconsistent handicapper who struggled/finished unplaced (8th) in a 1600m Toulouse handicap last month (25 September). For another day

RICHMOND (9) caught the eye several times last winter on this course and recent performances/results on the turf aren't a true reflection of his ability, so it could be worth siding with him on his return to this surface for the first time since March. MALLORCA SUN (8), another PSF returnee, is dangerous off a reduced mark and could threaten the selection. LA FIBER (5), at ease on this track, and SUPER CUTE (6), even without blinkers in which she is most effective, have podium aspirations.
Honest hard-knocking handicapper with sound form references/credentials in handicaps on this track, including a 1600m victory. Ran well in defeat (6th) in a 1400m Class 4 at Toulouse on 18 September

Unreliable but boasts sound references in handicaps at this level/venue and retains sufficient means. Confirmed as much by finishing 2nd in a 1200m turf claimer at La Test on 30 August - needs to confirm

Soundly beaten (unplaced) in both handicap appearances, albeit off a higher mark on both occasions. Finished 4th at Cavaillon in a 1600m conditions race on 22 September - dropped another 1kg, beware

Inconsistent but undeniably capable handicapper. Didn't go unnoticed when finishing 6th in a 1600m Toulouse handicap on 25 September and shouldn't be underestimated off a career-low mark

A model of consistency in handicaps, especially on the PSF - never worse than 3rd in 6 outings at Pau. Runner-up in a 1600m turf handicap at La Teste on 30 August and will prove hard to beat here

Finished 2nd and 7th in 2 appearances on this surface, both at Deauville. Soundly beaten (12th) in a 1400m turf handicap at La Teste on 13 August but could fare better returned to the PSF

Honest hard-knocker seldom far off the mark although hard to win with (just 2 victories from 31 starts). Didn't go unnoticed when 4th in a 1400m conditions race at Toulouse on 18 September - place chance

Rarely seen on PSF and has struggled in the handicap category, albeit off considerably higher marks. Dropped another 1m5kg after finishing 6th in a 1400m turf claimer at Dax on 8 July - watch for now

Lost her way in handicaps earlier this year but regained form/momentum recently in turf claimers, the latest (2nd) over 1600m at Royan on 15 September. Not taken lightly back in a handicap off this mark

Out of sorts on turf since April but is efficient on PSF - will appreciate reverting to this surface. Has solid references in handicaps at this venue so should do better than she did (9th) at Dax on 29 September

Versatile hard-knocker with references in handicap races on both surfaces, including a last-start 4th at Dax in a 1200m turf handicap on 29 September. Reverts to PSF and will appeal to lovers of outsiders

Hard-knocking handicapper who seldom finishes far off the mark although rarely wins (2 victories from 43 appearances). Needs to reaffirm after a disappointing 9th over 1600m at La Teste on 30 August

Has regained momentum after 2 pleasing comeback/handicap appearances off this mark - finished 4th in both, the latest on turf at Compiegne over 1400m on 25 September. Attractive outsider, even on PSF

ITALO (5) finished on the podium in all 6 visits to this course, albeit over further. That experience stands him in good stead and he gets the nod in the 'Lucky Last' ahead of FULL GAIN (1) whose aptitude for this track is also not in question. ARFAN (3), judged on his best references and racing off a lower mark, and VIRIMOON ETOILE (16), dropped to a dangerous rating with the benefit of an apprentice allowance, appeal most of the remainder.
