Barc

Hasn’t backed up spring promise (two seconds) on his last couple of starts and so questions to answer.

Burattina

Brave effort when just touched off at Chantilly last time, the mare is clearly in good order following successive thirds.

Cheese

Has shown glimpses of form but otherwise devoid of success since January 2022.

Chiquita Piconera

Didn’t look a straight forward ride when winning claimer on only third career start. More needed here over a shorter trip.

Chubasco

Has a good record on the Normandy circuit (four wins), and interesting contender now that he’s back on song after win in a claimer.

Frosty Bay

The veteran nine-year-old enjoyed his moment in the sun at Chantilly in April. Possibilities if putting his best foot forward.

Hoolong

Given a gem of a ride by top jockey when winning here in January. Not at the same level since although not without a chance.

Jacky

Found 1600 metres too sharp last time. Changed stables in the spring and yet to regain his 2022 form.

Le Parrain

In and out performer but capable of delivering on a good day (won at Longchamp in June), but otherwise one to treat with caution.

Luci Del Faro

A dual course winner, he isn’t quite operating at his 2022 level, but ran encouragingly (fourth) on last start.

Nights On Broadway

Agonisingly denied in the dying strides at Longchamp in June, but otherwise indifferent form.

On Y Va

This 2021 course winner looks to be struggling at present, having finished out of the numbers in his eight starts this term.

Sekku

Weakened in the dying stages (fifth) after kicking for home early at Vittel, and best judged on two previous seconds.

User Kindly

Hasn’t kicked on since seasonal debut fourth and still a maiden.

Tinette

Is coming off an eye-catching effort (close third) at Vichy following an indifferent run, and has been supplemented for this.

Trimlight

Continually on the premises this season, and has been supplemented for this on the back of an encouraging fourth to an in-form horse at the Lion d’Angers.
