Azka

Had been running really well without quite winning, until landing a 2000m handicap at Deauville last month, proving tough in a tight finish.

Bo Lywood

On top form when winning his last two starts, latterly showing courage to beat ten rivals in a 2100m handicap on the Chantilly polytrack last month.

Cameron

An 1800m turf Compiegne winner in May. Performed at least as well when third over 2000m at Longchamp last month. Back on an all-weather surface now.

Durango

A winner at Lyon La Soie on his third career start. Not seen since early June when third of 15 in an 1800m Longchamp handicap.

El Chaco

Only one win so far – an 1800m handicap – but has been running consistently well and though not justifying favouritism was only a length behind the winner at Chantilly on his last start, in March.

Grecian Bonanza

Highly consistent, finishing in the first four on all his eight starts. A close third when favourite for a 2000m turf handicap at Deauville last month.

I’m A Believer

Won a 1600m claimer on Chantilly’s polytrack surface in March and the following month landed a 1600m handicap on very soft turf ground at Saint-Cloud. A close fourth at Deauville last month.

Magellan

Has won two of his ten starts, handicaps at Le Mans and Lyon Parilly. But a modest performance at Dieppe, his first start for this stable. Capable of better than that.

Manada

Drops back substantially in trip compared to previous starts that includes a 2600m victory back in April. Probably short of pace for this test.

Melbora

Gradually moving up in trip, though didn’t run well over 1800m last time. Had easily won a 1500m turf handicap at Saint-Cloud in May.

Oak Hill

Gained his first victory on his penultimate start, at Argentan. But well beaten on the turf at Deauville last time.

See The Light

Only one win so far but has had some near misses. But no further progress so far in the two starts since being gelded.

Snowfinch

Started slowly but responded well to pressure to win a 1600m maiden at Vichy on her second career start. Less good in two subsequent runs and now switches to a polytrack surface.

Valentino Face

Narrowly won a 1500m maiden on the Deauville polytrack in February. An outsider for his last three starts, well beaten each time.

Woodstock City

Gained his first win on his sixth start over 2000m at Nancy but has been a beaten favourite in handicaps at Longchamp and Dieppe since.

Yes Zara

Her two wins – from six starts – have come over longer trips than this. Outsider of five starters when struggling in Listed company at Toulouse last time.
