Decent sort making his first appearance under the saddle since late-spring. Will be fit after 2 harness runs but, in this company, will need to be at his absolute best

Twice a winner in 4 starts under harness. Unseen for 2 months, and debuts in the discipline, but the engagement of a top jockey says it all

Has taken little time getting back in shape following the long layoff. A beaten 3rd at Vincennes but can still make his presence felt

Not as sharp as he was earlier in the season. Drops back in category though and should not be too far from the action

Excellent future prospect that has found his niche in the monte division. Alexandre Abrivard in the saddle this time and should be able to wrap this up

Superb on debut despite being demoted, KOPRIORO (11) went on to demolish the opposition at Vincennes next time and will again take all the beating. KOMDAPI DIESCHOOT (5) has shown considerable aptitude under harness and, with Adrien Lamy in the irons, will acquit himself competitively. KILOU D'YMER (4) returns to monte racing after a disappointing stint in the other code and, fitted with pads for the first time, will be no soft touch. KARAMEL JOYEUX (3) seldom disappoints when applied and benefits from a Mathieu Mottier ride this time.
Left quite the mark in qualification early-August. Has one race under her belt and, with Eric Raffin reining, will be afforded every chance

Looked decidedly ordinary on Nantes debut mid-month and is unlikely to trouble the judge

Authoritative winner on her Alencon debut earlier in the month and, LUSH LIFE (6) benefits from an Alexandre Abrivard drive this time, and should have this in the bag. Principal opposition should logically take the form of LA JOIE DE VIVRE (11) who, despite failing to finish a race, has nevertheless shown significant potential, and the untried LARA CROFT (10) who was simply dynamic in qualification. LADY POP (7) has shown decent aptitude and looks the best of the rest.
Showed early promise but has since lost his way and cannot be considered a realistic proposition

Not once out of the first three when he can keep his action together, JO DIBAH (7) is competitively-shod, runs over a distance he will appreciate, and can make his way back into the winners' enclosure. Francois Lagadeuc can still expect to feel the heat from the recently reinvigorated JOLIVERT DU GERS (12) who benefits from a superb engagement. JUST D'ACADIE (4) has no references over the distance but he is in his category here and will be competitive for a spot on the podium this time. JACKSON HILL (2) has not enjoyed much luck here recently but is plainly in exceptional form and, applied this time, can figure prominently.
As tricky as they come but is not lacking talent. Highly impressive winner last time out and looks a serious player on Enghien debut

Impressive more than once earlier in the year, JUEN EMONDEVILLE (12) finished 3rd here last time out, despite being sanctioned and, if more at his ease on this occasion, should be able to make good on his promise. Eric Raffin can nevertheless expect to encounter resistance from the complicated JUSTE AVANT (1) who flew up at Cherbourg 3 weeks ago. Similarly capricious, JOSHUA PEJI (7) opened his harness account at Nantes a week later and, with application, will have his chances. JOYAU DU TRESOR (14) is not the easiest to handle but he is close to his race and must be afforded respect.
Fine servant but tends to show more at a lower level and, in this company, will have his work cut out

A veritable metronome in this branch of the business, GO OR NOT (9) makes his first foray into Paris on a hat-trick and, barefoot for the occasion, can pull it off. Emma Callier would still be wise to be wary of the recently-returned, and barefoot, GIANT MESLOIS (13) who has already won 3 times at the venue. A tough campaigner, SELF EXPLOSIVE (14) was sanctioned early at Vincennes last month but will appreciate the flatter surface here and can make amends. FIROS (5) drops back to a more reasonable level and will be more competitive this time around.
Quality Belgian trotter with a strike-rate to envy. Drops back in category after his last effort here and will be competitive for a cheque

A temperamental soul he may be but ILIO MANNETOT (10) can certainly trot. He has been close to his race over recent months and can win this if he takes to Enghien conditions. That being said, IVO SIVED (11) proved himself here during the summer and his recent performance augurs well for his chances. IMPERATOR D'ELA (14) opened his harness account at Chartres 3 weeks ago and, if similarly well-behaved, should finish in the mix. At his absolute best this season, OSCAR VAN HALBEEK (1) was not disgraced here earlier in the month and, with Ouvrie back in the sulky, will be afforded every chance.

A progressive filly that was somewhat below-par here ten days ago, KIWA BLEUE (3) is ideally-placed behind the car, fitted with 4 pads this time, and can turn the tables on the improving KINJAL DE BELLANDE (6), and reinvigorated KISS ME DE JEAN (7), who finished ahead of her that day. Second over course-and-distance late last month, KILIWATCH (4) steps up in category but is barefoot this time and should not be underestimated.

Like a horse reborn over the past 3 months, IRIS FARCEUSE (8) won in style here earlier this month and, even though stepping up in category, looks eminently capable of imposing and pulling off the 4-timer. The versatile but delicate INFERNA DE HOUELLE (12) has won 2 of her last 3 though and, with application, can put up a fight. ICONE (11) is in cracking shape, raced better at Vincennes than the result would suggest and, hind pads fitted this time, can more than make amends. The talented IN ACTION (14) has one race under her belt, gets an Alexandre Abrivard drive for the first time, is barefoot for the occasion, and could well prove something of a spoiler.
