Has failed to fill a placing at his last few runs, the latest a fourth over 2000m at Compiegne, beaten 3.5 lengths. Among the winning hopes on best form.

Form since resuming has been disappointing, last start finishing fifth over 2200m at Dieppe. Has ability and is expected to do much better.

Ran a better race last start to finish third over 2500m at Argentan. Cannot be disregarded.

Has not raced since finishing 29 lengths away in fifth over 2200m at Pompadour on August 3. Did finish in the money first-up last prep at Limoges over 2100m. May need more time.

Continued the disappointing campaign last start when eighth and beaten 10 lengths over 2000m at Compiegne. Well-placed this time and expected to do much better.

Going well including last start when third over 2400m at Longchamp, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner. One of the chief contenders.

Has been out of the money in recent runs including last time out when fourth over 2500m at Argentan two weeks ago, beaten 3.5 lengths. Worth following up.

Didn't inspire again last start, beaten 9 lengths over 2500m at Argentan. Well placed and can do much better.

Had been knocking on the door and a deserved win came last start by 1.5 lengths over 2500m at Longchamp. Can make it two on the trot.

Lines up for the first time since April 5. Closed the last campaign in lukewarm fashion, with a 13th over 1800m at Le Croisé-Laroche the latest offering. Might need a run or two.

Recent form has been below par. Last start finished 99 lengths adrift in pulled up over 3800m at Dieppe. Has the job ahead.
