1500m – Polytrack

1

Three Dreams

Is holding her form well after a busy campaign (13 starts) and plenty to like about her running-on third at Vichy from a wide draw.

2

Adwan

Continues to go well and challenged widest of all when winning here on the all-weather on 30 July. Penalised accordingly by the grader but clearly in fine fettle.

3

Why Chope

Can fall back on three wins in southern France earlier in the season, but yet to translate that form to the Deauville all-weather circuit.

4

Braveheart

Didn’t get competitive at Vichy last time and balance of form is overall modest this season, but he has been given some breathing space by the handicapper.

5

Innovator

Yard are often competitive in such type races. Not much to enthuse about on balance of form this season but has been supplemented. Betting will probably be the best guide.

6

Kelly Key

Beaten two lengths in a blanket finish (seventh) here last time but otherwise yet to recapture her 2023 sparkle (two wins).

7

Oissel

Pounced successfully in a Class 3 Handicap on the Chantilly all-weather two starts back, and subsequent effort at Strasbourg (second) was also encouraging.

8

Sultan Of Swing

Has been more out than in this term but not impossible for a place if recapturing the form he showed when third here in April.

9

Total Knockout

Hasn’t sighted the winner’s circle for nearly two years and has tumbled a fair way down the handicap.

10

Pink Valentine

Has been very up and down this season, but clearly capable (two wins this term) and she did run well when a close third here on Thursday. Also ran well third on this meeting last season.

11

Falcon

He ran poorly when last at Clairefontaine last time and that was a backward step from his previous two efforts.

12

Just In Love

Has yet to show the zip she did in 2022 and safely held on her reappearance run (11th) at Compiegne in July.

13

Molino

He was seen to good effect last season (three wins), but difficult to gauge this season on the basis of one solitary run when last at Pornichet in February.

14

Addiction Dream

Has changed trainers earlier this year after winning here in December but otherwise in poor form this season.

15

Fraiche

Left a top yard (one win) in the autumn of 2023, but change of scenery followed six subsequent unplaced efforts has failed to do the trick so far.
