Vincennes 05 December 2025

Makes first Vincennes start for almost 2 years after a much-needed Chateaubriant conditioner on 11 November. Has form in the day's formula and has the wherewithal to get a look in

Modest individual with better prospects in the claiming division and has no realistic chance

Blows hot and cold but is no slouch when focused, and won this race 12 months ago. Is unlikely to get his nose in front this time but Paul Ploquin stays faithful, enjoys a good draw, and has a realistic shot at making the frame

Not the most dependable horse here but has shown a liking for these shorter trips. Will be fully-fit by now, seldom disappoints for Eric Raffin, and is not about to start now. Chance

Quality mare that consistently gives everything she has. Dominated a number of these last time here and can bring home the bacon on this occasion

Heavily-campaigned veteran that has done nothing of note since last summer and despite the good draw is still a rank outsider

Back under harness following some excellent monte efforts here recently. Has placed in both harness starts over the main track and from the front row can give this a good go. First 5

Unremarkable 6th of 15 in a 2100m claimer over the inner course a week ago. Starts wide on front line and others preferred

Previously a good sort but has struggled since twice moving yards and can be confidently ruled out

Put in a good effort to come 5th of 14 in a Class D over course and distance in late-October. Has no 7yos or 8yos to contend with this time and despite the draw still looks dangerous

Tough element making first appearance since late-September. Will be barefoot for re-entry, presents respectable Vincennes credentials, and can play a role if Kristof Depuydt successfully navigates the start

Showed marked improvement when 2nd of 16 in a 2450m Caen Class E 3 weeks ago. Has never produced the goods here though and represents a minor place chance at best

Won a Lisieux Class E early last month but failed to confirm when trounced at Chateaubriant 10 days later, and can expect to have few friends

Produced 2 good runs in the provinces before being dominated in a 2850m Class E here a month ago and is unlikely to ruffle any feathers

Has been a total write-off all year, has never delivered at Vincennes, and is not about to change his ways

Ran 5th at Saint-Galmier before coming 4th of 16 in a Paray-le-Monial Class E 2.5 weeks ago, but has pulled a rough number and chances appear limited

Quality filly that has not put a foot wrong since the spring. Went close on sole appearance over track and trip and, even though forced to start on the rail, she will still be competitive for a place cheque

Made up for a pair of eliminations when 3rd of 15 in a 2700m Class D here on 21 November. Is unlikely to repeat but with Benjamin Rochard reining will be afforded every chance

Kicked 2025 off in good order but has been very disappointing for past 5 months and appears to be biting off more than she can chew

Ran reassuring 4th of 15, a place behind LYRA POTERIE (2), in a 2700m Class D here on 21 November. Will not be sent out at 115-1 this time but will not be as competitive either

Serious sort taking to 2100m of the main track for the first time. Will be at peak fitness and, barefoot as she was when imposing here before the break, looks the one to beat

Excellent campaigner that has not put a foot wrong all year. Is clearly close to winning another and steps up in category with a reasonable chance of pulling it off

5th of 15 behind LYRA POTERIE (2), on return from a break, in a 2700m Class D here 2 weeks ago. Is sure to have come on for the race and is not incapable of finishing closer

Faces first goal of the winter meeting after 3 conditioners. Has form with Mathieu Mottier, will be barefoot, and is not to be underestimated

Should not be condemned for losing her action in a 2850m Class D here a week ago. Handed a wide first-row draw but form is not in question and David Thomain will be keen to put things right

Got back in the winners' enclosure after prevailing in a 2850m Class E here 2.5 weeks ago. Takes on a better lot this time, and breaks from 2nd line, but must not be overlooked

Capable on a good day and will be barefoot for the occasion but has not raced since March and is unlikely to upset the status quo

Versatile filly that won over 2700m here in September, but has twice failed to confirm and chances appear slim

Versatile element that stayed on well to keep 2nd in a Class E under these conditions a fortnight back. Forced to start on back row but with Jean-Michel Bazire in the bike can play a leading role

Pleased more than once here last winter but has struggled with form since returning after the summer and must first reassure

Mixes the good with the less good but nevertheless has form under these conditions. Stays shod for comeback though and best to keep one's powder dry

Stayed on well to finish close 3rd of 16 in a Class E over course and distance 11 days ago. Is not about to get his nose in front but still has the wherewithal to challenge for a place in the frame

Unremarkable element back under harness after faulting in a monte Class E here 3 weeks ago, and will have nothing to offer

Returned from his autumn break in excellent form, latterly 2nd in a Reims Class F 12 days ago. Has thrived since moving stables, has been re-shod for the occasion, and must be respected

Has stumbled just the once since being reconfigured during the summer. Races first-time barefoot as he steps up in category but still looks no more than a minor place chance

Put a pair of eliminations behind him to win a 3000m Chateaubriant Class F on 11 November and could well repeat if Damien Bonne keeps him focused

Has been completely off the boil since imposing at Saint-Galmier in August and can expect to have few friends

Returns to racing barefoot after a brace of comeback runs here. Is confirmed with the day's driver and has a realistic chance of opening his winter account

Won in the provinces in early-summer but was eliminated in next six starts and others easier to trust

Put in a good showing when 4th of 14 in a 3150m Saint-Brieuc Class E on re-entry early last month. Is reunited with Benjamin Rochard for the occasion and looks a contender this time

Left a very good impression when 3rd of 16, a place behind LORIQUET (14), in a 2700m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche 11 days ago. Is new to Vincennes but should take well to the new conditions and can figure prominently

Began to get back in the game during the autumn but has since lost his way and is not about to spring any surprises

Quality colt making first appearance since last March. Shoes on and will have other ambitions

Sent for a rest after imposing on the Riviera in August. Runs barefoot for 2nd start since the break, but cannot be considered a priority on main-track debut

Dependable trotter that ran a fine 2nd of 16 in a 2700m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche on 24 November. Enjoys a good entry, will be reined by Franck Nivard, and looks competitive for a first-5 cheque

Returns to the harness code after losing his action under the saddle at Reims on 10 November. Paul Ploquin in the bike this time but others still preferred

Unable to confirm Chartres victory when 8th of 14 behind LOUKY DE BAULON (1) in a Class E over track and trip on 24 November. Is plainly in good shape though and with some luck in running can get in on the action

Dependable element for the most part making first start since running 4th of 15 in a 2700m Class C here in late-September. Has placed in 2 of 3 for Mathieu Mottier and can again finish close

Given a course-and-distance freshener on 18 November after winning well at Caen a month earlier. Is barefoot for the occasion and is in with a realistic shout of finishing close

Back under harness after running moderate 5th of 11 in a 2700m monte Class D here last weekend. Has form at the venue but looks an outsider this time around

Produced a pair of good performances, including over 2100m here, before finishing 8th behind KNOK (1) in a 2700m Class C in late-October. Is not about to cause an upset but can still get in on the action

A good campaigner with decent form over these shorter trips. Has been off the track since 5 October but is confirmed in superior company and could well win this

Moves up the category-ladder after winning 3 of last 4. Appreciates Vincennes, placed on sole start over course and distance, and cannot be ruled out

Pleased here in late-October before running 4th of 14 in a Nantes Class A 2.5 weeks ago. Takes on a tougher lot on this occasion though and is unlikely to spice things up

Never far from faulting but has ample ability which he showed off over longer here 3 weeks ago, setting his fastest time in the process. Is never far off the mark when focused and has a realistic chance of imposing

Ran 3rd at Challans before coming 4th of 16 behind KELMEC (9) in a 2700m Class D here 3 weeks ago. Has pulled a tough number but Franck Nivard stays faithful and can guide him in for another first-5 cheque

Has decent Vincennes references and has previously imposed under these conditions, but is unlikely to spring any surprises

Serious trotter that has never failed to deliver over 2100m on the main track, but is still being conditioned and cannot be regarded a priority

Acquitted himself well to come 4th of 14 in a Class D over track and trip 11 days ago. Reliability not his strong suit and in this company will have his work cut out

Fine sort that finished an excellent 3rd of 13 in a 2875m Argentan Class A on 2 November. Won under these conditions almost a year ago, is presently in top condition, and despite the draw will have his chances

Sprang a 56-1 surprise when victorious in a 2700m Class E here 2 weeks ago. A repeat, however, seems most improbable

5th behind KELMEC (9) in a 2700m Class D here 3 weeks ago, on just 2nd start back. Will be fully-fit by now and even though handed an unfavourable draw must not be overlooked. JMB reining, attention

Got off the mark mid-November when comfortably winning a Mauquenchy Class F. Faces a very different challenge this time though and can be passed over

Serious filly that could well have won both of her recent Vincennes starts had she stayed trotting. Is learning the game with every run and it will not be long before she starts to come good again. Claim

Won 2 of 3 prior to faulting in a monte Class E under these conditions on 24 November. Is not priority but should give an honourable account if applied

Hardy element that ran a place behind MARINA SOMOLLI (12) at Laval before being eliminated at Graignes on 20 November. Form is not in question though and Franck Ouvrie will be keen to put things right

5th behind MARINA SOMOLLI (12) at Laval before coming 3rd of 8 finishers in a Class E over course and distance 2 weeks ago. Takes on a marginally better lot this time but can still make her presence felt

Tricky sort that dominated a 2550m Reims Class F 12 days ago. Was eliminated here earlier in the month, but can play a part if Romain Derieux gets her off on the right foot

Useful sort back under harness after running 2nd in a monte Class E over 2700m here on 24 November. Has no left-handed harness references and seems to be here for reasons of conditioning

Capable filly that pleased on sole start over the main track, but has not been seen out since July and will be race-rusty

Quality but lightly-campaigned element with a pair of conditioners under her belt following a lengthy layoff. Is clearly in competition-mode this time and will not be far off the mark

Not without merit but looks destined for a career in the provinces and can be ruled out

Unexceptional type that has never shown any liking for the venue and will have nothing to contribute

Returned to winning ways at Rambouillet before just missing out at Laval a month back. Has had time to freshen up and looks a leading contender on Vincennes bow

Most unlucky not to finish closer than 4th in a 2700m Graignes Class E a fortnight ago but is plainly in shape and will have her chances if kept out of harm's way

Terrifically-engaged filly that ran close over 2700m here earlier in the year but has not been seen out since July and will have few friends

Opened her harness account at Chartres but failed to confirm when last of 12 at Mauquenchy next time. Sports 4 pads for ridden bow but is unlikely to create an upset

Has finished no closer than 4th in 10 starts under the saddle. Races barefoot for first time but still not an obvious choice
