Alba Power

Has had training problems with some breaks between races. But he did run really well when third here in June, also winning over this trip at a minor track in August.

Alfieri

A veteran now but still capable of big efforts, winning at Lyon Parilly earlier in the year and placed on his last two starts. Probably better over longer trips than this.

Be My Day

He easily won a 1600m handicap here in July and would have live chances if able to repeat that here as he is versatile tripwise.

Brouillard

A strong finish saw him defeat 15 rivals in a handicap over this course and distance last month. No surprise if he puts in another good show here. 

Caliste

Favourite for a course and distance handicap at this meeting last year, fighting hard to get the winners’ money. Has generally run well since.

Favaritx

The winner of one of his eight starts but appears to try hard and has finished second five times including at this track. He will surely win again soon.

French Conte

Gained some victories over this trip earlier in his career. Didn’t have an ideal trip when quite a close sixth over this course and distance last month.

Hootton

Chantilly seems to bring the best out of him. Recent starts have been disappointing but at least his handicap mark has eased.

Kaviare

The narrow winner of a handicap over this trip at Chantilly in July. Failed to justify favouritism last time though not beaten far.

King Robbe

Did win a handicap on very soft over this course and distance earlier this year. But three runs in August were not encouraging.

Millfield

This veteran went very close to winning a heavy ground course and distance handicap at this meeting last year. Disappointing lately but capable of a sudden return to form.

Mon Ami L’ecossais

It is encouraging that his runs over this course and distance have good placed efforts, the ground being heavy each time.

Power Jack

Not been far in any recent start and with a good third over this course and distance last time, looking briefly like winning.

Roderick

Only just failed in a tight finish over this course and distance in June. An easy winner over Deauville’s straight 1600m subsequently.

Saga Timgad

Ran his best race for some time when winning a well-contested 1500m handicap at Deauville on his latest start, in August.

Tibasti

A four times winner but disappointing lately and looks an unlikely winner despite a slipping handicap mark.

Toijk

Back in 2018 he only just failed to win a G3 over this course and distance, and he has twice only just failed to win 1400m Longchamp handicaps thereafter.

We Ride The World

This smart handicapper is more familiar over 1600m than this trip. Generally in good shape this season, and beat 14 rivals here in July.
