Instructions

Consistently in the thick of things when she can keep her action together. Debuts over the main track but still worth retaining
Has been showing her form following the layoff. Proven under these conditions and will have her supporters
Erratic type that returned to winning ways at Parilly a fortnight ago. Debuts at Vincennes though and others easier to back
Mixes the good with the less good and arguably better going clockwise but confirmed barefoot with F.Lecanu and from the front line can give this a good go
Not the most dependable but can trot. Has better references racing righthanded though and others preferred
No slouch on a good day but has never produced the goods here and latest form does nothing to inspire confidence
Unremarkable mare that has placed just once in last six. Goes well for Ouvrie but still no more than a minor place chance
Useful sort that always gives her best. Hardy stable going well and will generate some interest
Unexceptional sort that has placed just once in 16 this year and will have few friends
Decent mare that can trot when applied. Caught the eye at Laval despite the sanction and from the front line will have her chances if applied
Runner up to (15) DEESSE NOIRE last month and raced better next time than the result would suggest but shoes on and best to wait
Not the most reliable but good third in the race of reference. Fifth to (13) COOL STAR next time and will not be far from the action
Quality element that has been flying of late. Yet to deliver on the main track but in present condition is hard to ignore
Not the most flattering formcard here but has won three of four for Bazire and will be no pushover
Quality element returning to Vincennes on a three timer and has previously won under these conditions. Flew up last time and can impose
Serious mare when she can keep her action together. Is clearly in form and on good behaviour will not be far off the mark

(15) DEESSE NOIRE may not be the easiest of horses to handle but she imposed with authority on the short course here last time out and can confirm. She will however be pitted against the tricky (14) DECOLORATION who goes particularly well for JMB. (10) DOUCE GERGAUDERIE has a good entry on the front line and if behaved will not be far from the action. (12) DOTKA DE LOIRON trotted third to the selection in the race of reference and should again make her presence felt. (4) DE LA CHENEVIERE can get a look in if she reproduces her Bordeaux performance.
Has ability but yet to get off the mark. Respectable fourth to (5) GRACE D'ELFE last time but still has a lot more to find
Lightly raced but has shown a lot of promise. Beaten only by a very good horse last time and should have a decent hand to play
Pleased earlier in the year under these conditions. Sanctioned in both starts since the layoff though and best to monitor
Quality element with two races in her since the break. Her trainer back in the sulky and if fully fit can impose
Not the most dependable but placed in one of two here. Debuts over the long course though and others preferred
As complicated as they come but has evident ability. Raffin gets another go and will not be far off the mark if she can maintain stride
Decent type that latterly placed over shorter on the inner track. Takes on some decent horses this time but worth retaining all the same
Consistently gives everything she has and good third here a fortnight ago. In better company but still one to note
Has hardly stepped a foot out of line lately. Recently set her personal best over the short course and looks to have a lot to offer
Good future prospect that made the frame on lone appearance under these conditions but unseen since late October and best to wait
Progressive filly that faulted early here last time out but has bags of ability and on good behaviour can go far
Unexceptional filly that is seldom far from losing her action. Has no love for Vincennes and can be passed over
Useful but regularly indisciplined. Has better references in the other code and not an obvious choice
Looked very smart in three of four earlier in the year but has not been seen out since May and will need the race
Has ability but out of the picture in both appearances at the venue and unlikely to spring any surprises

Impressive more than once during the spring (4) GRAVURE DE MODE has two races in her since the layoff and with JMB back in the sulky can return to winning ways. (9) GAZETTA D'OLIVERIE has however been knocking at the door over recent months and the nature of her recent re-entry augurs well for her chances. (6) GIVE ME SEVEN has better references in the other code but Raffin is back at the helm and should not be far off the mark if behaved. (2) GELINOTTE DAIRPET has shown very good aptitude to date and looks competitively well in.
Qualified nicely early last month and while unlikely to spring any surprises can still get a look in
Qualified decently but sanctioned in both to date and must get his house in order
Has made very little impact in nine career starts and can be confidently passed over
Trotted third in a Cabourg Class E on ridden debut before losing his action next time but still worth retaining
Never far from losing his action but showed his form under harness ten days ago. Lagadeuc on board for ridden debut and looks to be in with a decent shout
Unremarkable individual that has made the frame just once in eight and will have few takers
Can trot when applied and opened his account a month back but needs to improve on latest effort behind (16) GROGNARD DU BOURG
Pleased in both starts in the discipline. Steps back up in category but will have his supporters
Moderate sort that has placed just twice in 15. Unplaced on lone appearance in the specialty and chances limited
Hardy colt that has shown significant promise in the other code. Debuts under the saddle and if fully fit will have a lot to offer
Twice a winner in six under harness. Takes first steps under the saddle with A.Abrivard on board and will be afforded every chance
Placed just once in six since opening his account during the spring and will need to raise his game
Blows hot and cold but got off the mark at Cabourg recently and will not be far off the mark if he takes to Vincennes conditions
Can prove a handful but has merit. Yet to deliver at Vincennes but can pick up a stake
Sanctioned more often than not but solid in two of last three. Makes first appearance on the long course and will have his chances if he takes to the new profile
Quality element that has found his way in the new specialty. Stable going well and has a good chance of complementing recent success

Delicate he may be but (16) GROGNARD DU BOURG has started to make good on his promise since switching codes and is not incapable of confirming his recent success. (10) GANGSTER D'URFIST has shown decent aptitude in the other discipline and looks a solid proposition on his ridden debut. (5) GREAT MESLOIS is another complicated individual but he opened his account under harness recently and will have his chances if applied. (13) GAZ MAX makes his first appearance going left-handed after getting off the mark at Cabourg last time and will be no pushover if he turns. (15) GRANIT BLANC has shown a lot of promise in this specialty and on good behaviour can play a role.
Regular for the most part and latterly encouraged on the inner track but still not an obvious choice
Clearly capable but sanctioned in last three and others easier to back
Seldom gets her nose in front but can trot. Appreciates the Vincennes surface and will have her supporters
Showed significant class at three. Expected to be at peak fitness and with application can figure prominently
Not the easiest to handle but in the frame in last two. Proven on the main track and looks competitive for a cheque
Fine campaigner that has won three of last five. Untested at the venue but in present form is hard to ignore
Tricky character but seldom far off the mark when applied. Unseen since August though and will need the outing
Useful dual discipline filly with two races in her since the break but stays shod and best to wait
Has ability but also a temperament. Would have gone close recently had she not been sanctioned but with application and form maintained can win this
Good consistent filly whose latest effort can be ignored. First time unshod all four and can open her winter account
Useful on a good day and has imposed over course and distance. Left regrets here recently and on better behaviour can more than make amends
Not the most reliable horse here but pleased over track and trip nine days ago and can get a look in
Imposed over the distance at Graignes before trotting second on the short course mid November. In marginally better company this time but will nonetheless generate interest
Yet to deliver over the main track but reassured behind (10) FLEUR D'ORANGER last time out. Comes here fresh and must be respected
Very impressive over the summer and autumn but has since come off the boil and must get her house in order
Moderate type that has looked rather ordinary since the summer and unlikely to shake things up

(9) FULMIDA may be no champion but she looked a serious proposition last time before losing her action and if behaved could well impose. (11) FLANELLE DE LOIRON would have figured prominently last week had she not faulted and should logically make amends but may first have to see off the consistent (10) FLEUR D'ORANGER who goes barefoot for the first time. The talented (4) FLEUR D'ERABLE will be at peak fitness by now and on good behaviour will have a lot to offer. (5) FRANCE DE VALNY is back on track and in present form looks to be in with a decent shout.
Not as sharp as he was last winter but always gives his best and should not be entirely written off
Quality individual that caught the eye here a fortnight ago. Has a good record over the main track and looks a player
Blows hot and cold but imposed over track and trip during the spring. In current form though is unlikely to spring any surprises
Reliability not her strong suit but returned to winning ways on the short course last time and while unlikely to repeat can still make the first five
Won under these conditions earlier in the year. Just headed by (4) ETERNELLE DELO here last time but is thoroughly capable of turning the tables
Useful mare with decent references at this level but has just one race in her since the break and can be passed over
Remarkable servant that has won 13 of 17. Goes superbly over the main track and again looks the horse to beat
Quality trotter that imposed smartly here late last month and looks the direct threat to (7) ELIE DE BEAUFOUR
Fine servant in the other code. Still being prepared for first objective of the winter and can be passed over
Good class of trotter but has not been seen out since July and will need the race

An excellent campaigner with an enviable strike-rate (7) ELIE DE BEAUFOUR returns to Vincennes on a hat-trick of victories over the main track and looks eminently capable of pulling it off. JMB will nevertheless be wary of (8) ELITE DE JIEL who imposed with ease over shorter here last week. (5) ENSKA missed out by little on the inner course last time out and in similar form can again make the frame. (2) EAGLE MESLOIS is consistently in the thick of things and in present form will not be far off the mark.
Faithful servant when focused. Has previously imposed over track and trip and must be afforded respect
Serious sort in the ridden code when focused but has just one race in him since last winter and best to wait
By some margin the classiest horse here. Unraced for some time but Raffin on board for comeback and can wrap this up
Not easy to handle but pleased in two of last three. Lebourgeois has maintained faith and must not be ignored
Very hard to fault in this branch of the business when applied. Yet to deliver under these conditions but on good behaviour can get in on the action
Moderate trotter that was sanctioned on lone appearance in the code. Takes on some very good horses here and no threat
Untested in the discipline but presently enjoying a good run. Leading rider in the irons and can go far
Fine trotter that caught the eye here last time out. Takes first steps in the discipline and appears to be in with a decent shout
Not without merit but regularly displays a lack of discipline and can be ruled out
In the frame in both starts under the saddle including at the venue. Hind shoes off and must not be underestimated
52 starts and just one win to his name. Unplaced in last six and no threat
Sanctioned more often than not but has talent to burn and is confirmed under these conditions. Imposed with ease at Mauquenchy and can apply pressure on (3) EPSOM D'HERFRAIE

Winner of three of four starts under the saddle (3) EPSOM D'HERFRAIE may not have been seen out since April 2018 but he re-qualified with consummate ease and is expected to get straight down to business. Already a winner under these conditions the complicated (12) EPSON DU VIVIER returned to winning ways a fortnight ago and must be taken seriously. (8) ESTA BIEN has been going well under harness for some time and takes her first steps in the specialty with justified ambition. (7) ECLAT DE MAHEY is another ridden debutant and in present condition with A.Barrier on board can play a prominent role.
Quality individual with a good Vincennes record. Stays shod on this occasion but at this level can still finish in the mix
Totally off the boil since last winter and can expect to have few friends
Has done nothing noteworthy under harness since April 2018. Capable amateur at the helm but others still preferred
Fine servant at this level and reassured at Agen recently. Has a good spot behind the car and looks a player
Fine trotter that seldom disappoints when applied. Has a good record when barefoot and can go far
Placed at this level during the summer but out of the picture in next six and can be ruled out
By no means the easiest to handle but has references in this category and with application can make her presence felt
Very disappointing for some time and has never delivered here. Not a realistic proposition
Blows hot and colt but solid in two of last three at this level. Shoes on this time but still looks a leading hope
Hardy sort that has nothing to prove at this level. Is clearly in form and can put latest effort behind him. Claim
Seldom gets his nose in front but can trot when applied and should not be entirely overlooked
Struggling with form since the summer and has never shown any liking for Vincennes. Disregard
Pleased during the spring before losing her way. Just one race in her since the break and unlikely to influence the result
Returns to the discipline after imposing under the saddle and if form transitions can get a look in
Pleased more than once this time last year but very disappointing since and can be passed over
Capable sort that gave a fine account last time in this class. Not ideally drawn but in present shape looks competitively well in

Very effective in both the professional and amateur ranks (10) DESTIN GEDE was never at his ease at Mauquenchy last week but backs up with every chance of playing a leading role. (9) CHICAGO DREAM gave a very good account there just a few days earlier and looks the main threat. The recently unlucky (5) DELADO is one of the more regular horses here and with application can more than make amends for his recent sanction. The consistent (1) DUC DE CASTELLE is seldom seen here but boasts a good Vincennes record and if fully fit will be no easy touch. (16) DJEMBE DU PONT is back in shape following a lean patch and despite the draw can get in on the action.
Very hard to fault over recent months under harness but sanctioned in both starts in this code and others preferred
Sanctioned in five after imposing at Graignes during the summer and will have few friends on first appearance in the discipline
A model of consistency and went close on lone start under the saddle. Unseen since August but hind shoes off and will have his supporters
Delicate at the best of times but has significant ability. Is first time barefoot with Raffin in the irons and must be afforded respect
