Form Snapshot: Finished 6th last time at Craon over 3700m in a Class 3 hurdle on July 6. Unlikely to be a threat
Form Snapshot: Finished 5th on the latest start over 3400m at Dieppe in a handicap hurdle on August 7. This requires a good deal more to be competitive
Form Snapshot: Two unplaced runs of late, the latter over 3900m in a handicap chase at Le Lion D'Angers on April 20. Hardly inspiring
Form Snapshot: No show in four runs this year, 6th at Clairefontaine on the latter over 3600m in a handicap hurdle on August 26. Look elsewhere
Form Snapshot: Six placed runs this year, the latter over 3900m in a claiming hurdle at Saint-Malo on August 18. Place chance at best
Form Snapshot: Finished 4th in a Class 3 Condition Hurdle at Auteuil over 3,600m on 25 April 2026. Hard to rule out
Form Snapshot: Finished 6th in a Class 3 Condition Hurdle at Auteuil over 3,500m on 30 May 2026. Looks to be of limited talent
Form Snapshot: Nice win last time over 3400m at Dieppe in a Class 3 hurdle on July 10. One to pay attention to each-way
Form Snapshot: Not seen since a 3rd on October 12 at Vitre in a claiming hurdle over 3800m. Has work to do to be involved
Form Snapshot: Four placed runs recently, 4th on the latter over 3400m at Dieppe in a handicap hurdle on August 7. She looks capable of a bold show
Form Snapshot: Finished 4th on her latest start over 3400m at Dieppe in a Class 5 hurdle on July 10. Others make more appeal
Form Snapshot: Fell last time over 3600m at Clairefontaine in a handicap hurdle on June 29. Better than his form figures and can make the frame
Form Snapshot: Failed to complete the course last time over 3900m in a handicap chase at Dieppe on July 17. Back over hurdles and can be opposed
Form Snapshot: Two tame efforts this year, 7th at Dieppe on the most recent in a handicap hurdle over 3400m on August 7. Looks vulnerable
Form Snapshot: Unplaced last time on June 7, 2nd previously at Clairefontaine on July 27 in a claiming hurdle over 3700m. In the mix
Form Snapshot: Finished 6th last time over 3400m at Dieppe in a Class 5 hurdle on August 7. One to look at each-way
Form Snapshot: Finished 4th on the latest start over 3900m in a claiming hurdle at Saint-Malo on August 18. This will be a step too far
Verdict
The tentative vote goes to MAGIE DU CHENET (11) in what looks a very open handicap hurdle. She has been running well recently with several placed efforts and can edge thus ahead of MELCHIOR DU LARGE (1), who has to deal with top-weight but can be expected to make an impact. MONNAIE COURANTE (7) has solid each-way aspirations and ran well at this track in a Class 3 hurdle when third in late April. She will be ready to go after a layoff. PAREIL PAREIL (13) has not got inspiring form figures but has shown talent and can make the top four with a clear round of jumping.
