Versatile and reliable, INSTINCT SAINT BAR (14) won from the front at Montignac on 23 July before following up at Royan when held up. He has raced little for his age and can secure the three-timer. JAGERBOMB (7) was found wanting on his last two starts, but will be reunited with Eric Raffin for whom he excels. Proven here and re-shod, IL VIENT DU LUDE (15) is very easy to like, as is JINGLE LOVER (10) who would probably have won last time had he not lost his action. Ideally-engaged on the front row, JOKER D'OLAINE (9) is clearly close to his race.
Finished 3rd in a Class F at Marseille-Borely over 3,000m on 27 August 2026. Has hardly put a foot wrong for months and should prove competitive at the business end of the race

The choice is not straightforward between KATIMINNIE BROUETS (11), who has been re-shod for her Feurs debut, and JESCO DE LA VALLEE (2) who made it two in a row when imposing here 10 days ago. In July, JANA D'ARMOR (4) also scored here and will appreciate a return to the amateur division. J'ADORE CE MEC (1) has been knocking at the door for some time and is due to be rewarded any day now.

Fitted with four pads for the first time in his career, NEPTUNE DE JEAN (9), who has some strong form lines in the west, looks capable of returning to winning ways. NOW AND THEN (12), after an encouraging comeback could finally get that maiden monkey off his back, and NOBODY KNOWS (3), who acquitted himself well in an interesting field at Cabourg recently, will be aiming for a place on the podium, as will NOBILUS BAR (7), who was by no means disgraced at Divonne.

KOALA (6) can prove something of a handful but is dynamic when focused; he should appreciate the selective nature of the Feurs track and even though backing up can still confirm last Saturday's Vincennes romp. On the front row, KOPRIORO (2) enjoys a legitimate chance of pulling off the hat-trick. KENYAN BLUES (5) will be no pushover if he gets off on the right foot. KATCHINA FOR CLARA (9) has been revitalised of late and deserves to take her chances.

He may not be the easiest of horses to use but MALIGNO (10) ran better in a Vincennes Class D recently than the result would suggest, and under these conditions can impose. MON COUSIN (6), in cracking form, will attract plenty of support. MYSTERE DES MARES (5), who showed marked improvement at Lyon, can also have a say, as can MUSE DU VALLON (9), who will be partnered by Theo Briand.

If he can quickly get to the lead, the battle-hardened JILORD VIVA (4) will not be easy to beat on this testing track. Partnered by Eric Raffin, he still looks to have the advantage over second-row starter INO DU LUPIN (10) who is barefoot and patently in race-mode. Reassuring on re-entry, and barefoot this time, JANGO VICI (6) comes next, ahead of HORCHESTRO (9) who is similarly barefoot for his return to competition.

Not entirely at ease going right-handed last time, LUMIERE DAIRPET (4) was only narrowly-beaten and can set the record straight.

Successful in a Class H at Jullianges over 2,425m on 23 August, complementing his Aix-les-Bains victory, and even from the back row looks a leading contender

Put his Cabourg clinker behind him when securing a Class H at Erbray over 2,675m on 30 August. Is new to Feurs but, with form maintained, can make a big splash

Although disappointing in his recent hat-trick bid at Cabourg, KEIGHT BLESS (5) should not be written off too quickly and from the front row could well return to winning ways. KANT (12), convincing winner at Erbray, will provide the main opposition alongside KEROS DES BAUX (11) who returns to Feurs on a three-timer. KHEOPS DU LOISIR (7) showed his form despite being eliminated here recently and deserves another chance.
