Last-start winner of a valuable 1600m handicap at Doncaster on 14 September. Carried 62,5kg to victory on his reappearance after a 6-month absence, so shouldn't be underestimated with that run under his belt

Acquitted himself well in defeat at Lyon-Parilly in a 1600m Class 1 conditions race on 29 September. Beaten less than a length under top-weight 59kg (conceded 2kg to the winner) - will appeal to lovers of outsiders

ALCANTOR (7), in his first start against older rivals, finished 3rd in the Group II Prix Daniel Wildenstein on his reappearance after a 4-month absence. He finished ahead of MARHABA YA SANAFI (1) and needn't improve much with that run under his belt to confirm his superiority. However, the latter will appreciate returning to this course on heavy ground which he also enjoys. One of 3 fillies in the race, SIRONA (6) should also acquit herself competitively after a last-start Listed success on heavy ground. ELBAZ (4) appeals most of the remainder.
Relished the step up in trip to win an 1800m Yarmouth maiden by almost 10 lengths last month. Built on that form/improvement to finish 2nd in a 2000m Group III at Newmarket on 12 October - candidate for success

Regally bred and the only filly in the race so enjoys the benefit of a sex allowance. Stayed on under pressure to finish a creditable 3rd in the Group I Fillies' Mile at Newmarket on 11 October - should play a leading role

Supplemented BALLET SLIPPERS (4) faces male opposition for the first time but could upstage them with improvement expected over this longer distance. She rallied gamely to finish 3rd in the Group I Fillies' Mile and this regally bred filly should, on pedigree, have more to offer stretching out to this trip. TENNESSEE STUD (3) and GREEN STORM (1) have the form and experience over this distance to expose any chinks in the filly's armour. HARVEY (2) isn't a forlorn hope over this trip that could unlock improvement.
A 4-start maiden with no more than a minor role to play in this grade/company. Runner-up over 1400m at Newmarket on 5 October but needs to unlock plenty improvement over the extra 200m to have a say here

Unbeaten MARANOA CHARLIE (5), the only French representative in the race, impressed with a dominant start-to-finish victory in a Group III over this distance earlier in the month. He will be challenged for the lead by last-start Listed winner APPLES AND BANANAS (3) but is hard to oppose given the manner of his wide-margin Saint-Cloud success. MOUNT KILIMANJARO (4) should make his presence felt too, and could even pick up the pieces should the principals cut throats upfront. Unexposed TWAIN (2) shouldn't be underestimated either, having been supplemented a winning debut at Leopardstown.

A non-participant in the Group I Prix Royallieu, RUE BOISSONADE (3) puts her unbeaten Saint-Cloud record on the line after an impressive comeback victory on this course over 3100m. She would've tightened up with the benefit of that reappearance so is good value to follow up at the expense of hat-trick-seeking ENTRANCEMENT (1) who should enjoy conditions in his first outing on French soil. LILY HART (8), whose Group I failure is best forgotten, should fare better in these calmer waters and isn't taken lightly. David Menuisier's second string to his bow, PANTHERA (7), completes the shortlist.

JIMFA (12) fluffed her lines in the Group I Prix de Craon but shouldn't be hastily condemned. She landed this Group II prize last year and is taken to redeem herself by successfully defending her title. JOAQUINA DICI (8), 3rd in the Prix de Craon, continues to push her limits and seems best equipped to fight for victory. Consistent JESUBA (10), headgear-improved JOKE (14), as well as honest hard-knocker JOLLY WAY (13), are contenders for the remaining podium berth.

ALMARA (7) is a beautiful filly that has gone with some very talented sorts before and acquitted herself with aplomb. She takes a step down in grade in this Group 3 and can bounce right back to winning ways. ELUSIVE PRINCESS (4) was clearly a tad outclassed in the Group 1 last time but was far from disgraced. She has a strong place chance. ROCK 'N SWING (9) is a lightly raced two-time winner that surely has more to offer. Strong each way claims.

DIALLA (3) brings solid form into the race and has been knocking loudly at the door. Selected to go one more. KOURAL (4) ran a much better race last time when 4th and can get even closer this time. Strong each way chance. LA TEMPLIERE (1) can be forgiven for her dismal last run and judged on penultimate and overall form. Big runner. AMERICAN GLORY (8) won the last start and can follow up.
