Hungarian-bred that stormed up on French debut at Agen on 22 March. Lost his action in Lyon next time but could pleasantly surprise if Matthieu Abrivard keeps him trotting. Attention

Won 2 in a row at home in Switzerland before coming close 2nd in a Lyon-Parilly Class E on 8 April. Is entrusted to David Thomain for the first time and, although not the biggest fan of Vincennes, still cannot be discounted

Returns to a venue he likes after clinching victory in a Cavaillon Class D a month ago. Is a tough nut when focused and will be expected to finish in the mix

KAZAN BEACH (9) showed at Pontchateau last month that he is clearly at his best and, barefoot with Eric Raffin back in the bike, can double up. He will still feel the heat from the wonderfully consistent ROCKY MOM (2) who just missed out on his recent return to France, and ENEA FONT (6) who imposed at Toulouse 12 days ago on his first start for the Guarato stable. Successful at Cavaillon a month back, ETRANGER JOYEUSE (16) enjoys a fine entry and boasts a 60 percent win-rate at Vincennes. ICARE DES FORGES (13) has endured an interrupted career but he is competitively-shod following a pair of productive conditioners and will be no soft touch.
Drops down the category ladder for first start since early-December. Races competitively-shod for the first time and, if applied, can pick up some prizemoney

Can prove a handful but is otherwise in good condition. Would have contested the finish in a 2700m Class D here last week had she not faulted, and even though on the back line, should nonetheless hold her own. First 5

Wonderfully-consistent but unlucky 3rd on her Vincennes debut last week, MY LUCK (2) tries her hand over 2100m this time and from the 2 slot can impose. Alexandre Abrivard will still want to be wary of the in-form MAKE IT RIGHT (3) who kicked the year off victoriously here in mid-March, and the well-placed MARVA CALENDES (4) who was going good-guns when eliminated here 3 weeks ago. MELICIANA (10) was not the most fortunate either last time out and Mathieu Mottier will be keen to set the record straight.
Takes to the ridden discipline after faulting on debut under harness 2 weeks ago. Benjamin Rochard gets the nod and is not one to be overlooked

Clearly talented but eliminated in her last 2, NYLLA DU GOUTIER (7) drops back to a more reasonable level and could well lose her maiden status if Eric Raffin manages to keep her trotting. He will still be mindful of Mathieu Mottier's no-less-complicated NUEVA DE VANDEL (6) who has also shown considerable monte potential, and NAMBALADA (4) who will have had the monte code as an alternative for some time.

Unbeaten in 2 starts since moving to Mathieu Mottier's yard, LE MAGNIFIQUE (10) won brilliantly here almost a month ago and a similar run would see him pull off the hat-trick. LITCHI BAM (16) has been held back since imposing on re-entry here in mid-February but has yet to be bested when barefoot and benefits from a golden entry. Consistent Italian mare, FOTOFINISH GIOVI (8) pleased at Enghien in March on her first French start, has since joined the Charley Mottier team and will be first-time barefoot. LOVE DANCER (11) has nothing to prove at this level, and has no particular love for the main track, but is barefoot this time and, with application, will not be going home empty-handed.
Has won 4 of last 5 starts but is shod for re-entry and best to keep one's powder dry

A fine servant when focused, MOONWALK D'HERIPRE (14) sports a fresh configuration for his return to Vincennes, is confirmed at a superior level, and can win this if Benjamin Rochard keeps him trotting. Also from the same stable, and similarly reconfigured for the occasion, MACHIAVEL BOURBON (10) will be sufficiently fit by now and should again figure prominently, but may first have to see off the justifiably well-regarded, and reconfigured, MAHARAJA ATOUT (13) who imposed at Feurs just over a fortnight ago when being prepared for this. For MOHAWK (4), it is often a question of all-or nothing; he sports new shoeing for his return to competition and has won 3 of 6 with Mathieu Mottier.

Winner of February's Gr.1 Prix Comte Pierre de Montesson at 15-1, NOCIVE DU CHOQUEL (13) returns from a well-earned spell and looks to have a realistic chance of repeating. NORMANDIE NIEMEN (12) failed to confirm her Gr.2 Prix Roquepine victory that day when a close second, and David Thomain will have a point to prove. NACRE DU MOUTHIEUX (8) ran out a commanding winner of the Gr.3 Prix Aschera last month and even though shod this time, she moves back up in category with a good hand to play. NOELA JOSSELYN (10) was most impressive last time out and Nicolas Bazire will be anticipating another competitive run.
Returned to victorious ways on re-entry last month in a Toulouse Class B, but has little liking for Vincennes and can be dismissed

Undefeated in all 4 starts to date, latterly winning a 2175m Class B comfortably here on 11 April. The 5-timer is unlikely but should nevertheless acquit himself honourably, and racing with hind pads will do his chances no disservice

A colt of the first order, NOB HILL (13) was sent for a rest after surprisingly failing to deliver in the Gr.1 Prix Comte Pierre de Montesson in mid-February. He will have been specifically prepared for this and should logically set the record straight. Also sent for a break that day after having run 3rd, NELSON EMGE (12) is competitively-shod for his comeback and looks the main danger. Winner of a Gr.3 last time over 2700m, NICE SPEED (7) steps up in class with a good hand to play. Also making his first appearance since February, NUEVO CASH (14) goes over any trip and is plainly in race-mode.
Runner-up to JAPAROV LIRE (11) in a Class D over track and trip on 20 March before being denied a run under the same conditions 12 days ago. Is patently in fine shape though and from the front line can make a big splash

Got back in the game at Graignes 3.5 weeks ago when 2nd in a 2725m Class F, but in this category has no possible chance

Seldom gets his nose in front these days but pleased at Amiens on first objective of the season, and will have his supporters

Has twice failed to deliver after imposing at Nantes in February. Benefits from a front-line start but is still not a concern

Ran 3rd to JAPAROV LIRE (11) before coming 5th in a 2850m Laval Class D 3 weeks ago. Has solid references when sporting pads and has a realistic chance of picking up some prizemoney

Serious type that goes over any trip. Eliminated in last 2, including over track and trip, but it is just a question of time before he comes good again

Disappointing in both codes since returning this season. Is not entirely devoid of ability but is nonetheless biting off more than he can chew

Showed improvement when 5th in a Class D over course and distance early last month. Has been entrusted to Benjamin Rochard and should not be too far from the action

Quality mare making first appearance since early-January. Is clearly in conditioning-mode and can be ruled out

Excellent winner of an Enghien Class D before unluckily losing his action in a Chateaubriant Gr.3 a fortnight back. Is clearly better than most here and Damien Bonne will be eager to prove the point

Failed to repeat Class D course-and-distance victory when last of 10 behind JAZZ D'OURVILLE (1) under these conditions on 24 April. Enjoys a decent engagement and should not be underestimated

Winner at Enghien in March, JIZOU D'ETANG (10) would have finished close at Chateaubriant 2 weeks ago had he not faulted, and Damien Bonne will be out for redemption. In fine condition, and 25m better off, JAZZ D'OURVILLE (1) looks dangerous. I STILL LOVING YOU (6) has been showing a certain spirit lately but he is eminently up to the task and Alexandre Abrivard will be minded to keep him focused. Oddly below-par here recently after having imposed over course and distance the previous month, JAPAROV LIRE (11) is nicely-engaged and Mathieu Mottier will be expecting to make amends.
