DROP - Slightly disappointing in last run in a Group III. Has to show significant improvement 2. DUCATO BOURBON - Showed promises earlier this season. Top-connections and expected to be fit on return to action 3. DIABLO DU NOYER - Still in contention when disqualified at Laval last time. Previous form is solid and can claim a place 4. DROLE DE GOSSE - Top-class performer under the saddle and unlikely to make an impact 5. DIJON - Has shaped up nicely at Chartres for this race. Has the credentials to feature prominently

2 6. DRAGON DU FRESNE - Useful sort on both codes but has yet to prove himself in this class of event 7. DJANGO RIFF - The best three years old in France at present. Outclassed rivals last time out and looks hard to oppose (7) DJANGO RIFF displayed another impressive effort when scoring in a Group I on 14 October and is unlikely to be defeated in this race. With Dollar Macker on the absent list (5) DIJON could be the one to grab the runner-up spot. (3) DIABLO DU NOYER has a good turn of foot and could leave behind his recent below par effort. (2) DUCATO BOURBON can spoil if he keeps his stride. (7) DJANGO RIFF - (5) DIJON - (3) DIABLO DU NOYER - (2) DUCATO BOURBON

3 Race 2 1. UNIVERS DE DAIDOU - As good as ever. Takes a big drop in distance but has previously shown plenty os speed 2. UP THE GREEN - Made a good return to action on 22 September September. Reunited with Franck Nivard and must be respected 3. ORIENT HORSE - Has shown significant improvement since trained by Thomas Levesque. Has plenty more to offer and deserves the utmost respect 4. USTIE HAUFOR - Has now two races under her belt. All shoes come off today and looks ready to bounce back 5. GOING FOR GOLD ZAZ - Has plenty of early speed but lacks consistency. Needs to show significant improvement to feature 6. ARAZI BOKO - Scandinavian import who has been running extremely well on french soil. Another sound performance can be expected 7. PERKINS GRIF - Has not raced since June but all shoes come off on comeback and has to be closely monitored 8. NUAGE EN CIEL - Has had 3 runs since returning from a break. All shoes come off and must be respected 9. VA TRES BIEN - Has not been seen at his best at Vincennes lately. Much preferred on flat tracks and not a priority 10. ZONGULDAK - Fully shod on return at Vincennes. Has better entries in the near futur and best to watch 11. PIONEER GAR - Has made the frame on numerous occasions in Quintes+ this season. Has a great chance with all shoes off today 12. VACATE MONEY - Well beaten by Orient Horse on 21 October at Vincennes over 2850m. Drop in distance should favour 13. YANKEE'S PHOTO - Runner-up over course and distance last spring. Faces a stiff challenge in this class of event 14. VASCO DE VIETTE - From an in-form yard. Not the best of draw but cannot be ruled out for place 15. ART ON LINE - Has to be covered-up to give his best. Won easily on penultimate start at this course over 2850m A winner of four Quintes+ within five months (3) ORIENT HORSE is once again the one to be on. He has been running consistently well and the different forms work out in his favour. However (12) VACATE MONEY will be distance-suited

4 and could give a lot to do to the selection if she gets a clear run. (6) ARAZI BOKO is a legitimate candidate for place. (11) PIONEER GAR and (2) UP THE GREEN have the credentials to make the frame. (3) ORIENT HORSE - (12) VACATE MONEY - (6) ARAZI BOKO - (11) PIONEER GAR - (2) UP THE GREEN - (1) UNIVERS DE DAIDOU - (15) ART ON LINE - (8) NUAGE EN CIEL

5 Race 3 1. VALSE DE REVE - Well held when finishing sixth behind some of today's rivals last time. Needs to up her game 2. SYDNEY DU RIB - Runner-up to Safari Dream in the reference's race.

SAFARI DREAM - Outclassed rivals on 14 October over 2850m on the inner track. Has a first rate chance if capable of reproducing this effort 5. ATTENTIONALLY - Made a big impression when scoring in the Group III Prix Georges Dreux. Has a claim on the back of this effort 6. TORRE CREPIN - Latest form does not make appeal. Hard to make a case on return from a 192 days break 7. VAGABONDU MAG - Has not won a race since November Has failed to impress in 7 starts over course and distance 8.

TEXAS DE L'ITON - Seldom runs a bad race but needs to raise his game to win a contest of this nature 11. NENE'DEGLI ULIVI - Well beaten fifth in the Prix Georges Dreux behind some of today's rivals. May have too much to find 12. ASTOR DU QUENNE - Won the G.II Prix de Londres ahead of many of today's rivals. Has to be considered 13. SCARLET TURGOT - Champion mare who scored impressively in the G.I Prix de Cornulier this year. Big expectations on return to ridden racing Champion mare (13) SCARLET TURGOT is running one of the last race of her career and no doubt she can have the edge of she is back at the top of her game. She gets the vote to resume with winning ways. (5) ATTENTIONALLY was a sound winner of a the coveted Prix Georges Dreux and has to be included on the shortlist. (8) ATHENA DE VANDEL and (4) SAFARI DREAM are two others that should not be underrated.

25 Race 7 1. JAZZ POEM - One win from thirty four but is a on a bit of a downward slide and hoping to halt it here 2.

She won twice earlier this year and put up a fair enough performance here last time when runner up and might have enough to take care of (7) CIME D'HUEZ who looks a winner waiting to happen at any stage. (9) CREAMWELL and (6) CODD'ELA have a shot too. (2) CASHKILLE - (7) CIME D'HUEZ - (9) CREAMWELL - (6) CODD'ELA

Any support for Italian-raider (5) POWER ACTION should be noted while (8) AMIRAL DE VIRMONT only just faded out of the places at Rouen-Mauquenchy last month. (3) NEW APPROACH is probably better than his recent finishing position at Chartres suggests. (10) RIVIERA AS - (5) POWER ACTION - (8) AMIRAL DE VIRMONT - (3) NEW APPROACH - (6) ADDAIA DU DOME

31 (2) BOLIDE LEMAN arrives on the back of a decent success at Nuille-sur-Vicoin and can double up here at the expense of (6) BULIANO who has been a runnerup three times this year. (12) BOSS I AM has also finished second three times this term and (3) BAJOCIEN could play a part if able to reproduce his best form. (2) BOLIDE LEMAN - (6) BULIANO - (12) BOSS I AM - (3) BAJOCIEN - (13) BIJOU D'AURE
