Formscan - L'ARRABIATO (6) has a decent racing weight and has shaped well with two fourth-placed efforts recently. The latter at Clairefontaine in a Listed chase late in August over 4500m. He is preferred over KELIBIA (2), who will be sharper for a fourth-place run at Saint-Malo over hurdles 25 days ago. J'AI LA COTE (7) fared well in a Class 1 chase at Craon when fourth earlier this month and can be expected to be involved. HOKUSAI VALLIS (9) has decent course form and is hard to rule out.
