Second in a Class C Apprentices' race at Enghien over 2,875m on 25 October. Is clearly close to his race but, in this company, looks more a minor place prospect

Finished 6th in a Group II at Vincennes over 2,700m on 9 October, just over a fortnight after having won an Argentan Class A and, with application, can apply the pressure on LASKO DES BROUSSES (10)

Fifth in a Class C Apprentices' race at Enghien over 2,875m on 25 October. Is confirmed under these conditions, but is still not an obvious choice

Disqualified in a Class B at Caen over 2,450m on 18 October. Is more than useful when focused though and can challenge for a place in the picture

Surprise third in a Class C Apprentices' race at Enghien over 2,875m on 5 October, however a repeat seems unlikely

Runner-up in 4 of last 5 starts, lastly a Class B at Caen over 2,450m on 18 October. Takes on a good lot here, but should nevertheless hold his own

Disqualified in a Class B at Les Sables D'Olonne over 2,750m on 19 October. Has otherwise been superb for past 4 months and will be well-backed to win this

Verdict
The five year-olds look the best prospects here. If he manages to stay trotting, the reconfigured LASKO DES BROUSSES (10) has more than enough ability to win this. LAMBADA DU GOUTIER (5) sports 4 pads this time and is reunited with Paul Ploquin with whom she has a good record. LASKA DU LEVANT (2) has two runs under her belt and the drop in class will only work to her advantage. ICARE WILLIAMS (7) is useful when focused and must be afforded respect.
