Thierry Duvaldestin holds the aces in this opening event with LIVANTO KALOUMA (3), whose unbeaten record was ruined by a recent faux pas, and undefeated LITTLE DAIDOU (6) who has revealed considerable means in winning both starts. Preference, however, is for the former in whom the trainer retains faith. LANSKY VALLEE (10), one of several promising sorts in this three-year-old event, has also shown enough to be competitive on his Vincennes debut. LITTLE TWO (9) and LITTLE BLACK MO (5) have the form and experience to make their presence felt too. Good race!
Has found her niche racing unshod, winning back-to-back 2800m races at Chartres recently - the latest on 14 April. Attractive outsider, even at this level

KEMILLA DE BRION (10) was challenging for a leading role at the time of her fault at this venue over 2700m last month and needs only to avoid disqualification to redeem herself here. KALINKA CASTELETS (13), who was disqualified in her latest outing under the saddle, is most effective in the harness category and has the means to fight for victory. Last-start winner KEENGAME (11), although probably better over further, and KLASSICA DESBOIS (8), of whom better is also expected after a much-needed comeback outing, complete the shortlist.
Soundly beaten in each of his last three starts, including both comeback appearances this year - the latest in this code over 2875m at Enghien on 18 April. Best watched for now

HARAGONAIS (7) has been teed up for this return to his preferred discipline with three comeback outings in the harness category, and he should prove an entirely different proposition back under the saddle so seems the one to side with. HUIS CLOS (6) has performed encouragingly in consecutive recent appearances and is likely to pose a threat. GEVREY D'AUTHISE (8), despite his disqualification last time in his seasonal pipe-opener, showed enough last season to be competitive in a race of this nature. HAILEY D'OURVILLE (4) cannot be underestimated in her first start in the mounted category.
Showed early promise but has, largely, flattered to deceive. Finished an improved/encouraging 4th over track and trip last time but will need to confirm that progress to be competitive here

It is hard to oppose thriving KATAR (11) who is at the top of his game after four consecutive race victories and capable of extending his winning sequence, especially after scoring on his reappearance over this course and distance last month. KARMA (7) should, however, keep the selection having regained freshness following his last-start success over track and trip in February. KALINOU QUICK (8), who is the third of four last-start winners in the race, deserves a shot at this level and ought to acquit himself competitively too. KATIM DU GOUTIER (9) completes the shortlist.

KING STALLION (7) was imperious when bouncing back to something of his best in winning over this course and distance a week ago, and is good value to follow up with another victory here on the evidence of that display. KLASSIC FROMENTRO (5) is most effective in this shoeing configuration(barefoot) so is capable of challenging for race honours, while KARNA DES BAULTS (4) also has the means to get involved if confirming the improvement of his last start. KROME (8) is another with legitimate ambitions to finish on the podium.

It could pay to follow the progress of undefeated LUNABELLA D'OMAHA (5), whose victories at Lisieux and Caen last month were good enough to suggest that she could fight for victory on her Vincennes debut. She will, however, have to thwart the likely challenge of LA SPEZIA DE LOU (10) who has the form and experience to pose a threat. Enigmatic LETTY DE BEYLEV (7) is hard to trust but dangerous to discount, having already revealed sufficient quality to play a leading role in a race of this nature. Improving LAVASINA (3) appeals most of the remainder.

LIONHEART (6) showed enough (form, ability, etc) in the harness category to suggest that he could be as - if not more - effective under the saddle, so it could pay to side with him making a winning debut in the mounted code. LORD CATH (3), runner-up over course and distance recently, is likely to fight for victory if confirming that improvement. L'APOGEE IMPERIAL (2) was at fault that day but showed promise in two previous outings, and could join the fight if bouncing back to the form of either earlier display. LENOTRE DE HOUELLE (1) is unexposed but ought to improve with the benefit of an introductory outing, so shouldn't be underestimated.

Carefully prepared for her return to this level, having won a similar contest over 2875m at Enghien in March before finishing 7th at Le Croise-Laroche over 2700m on 15 April

ISOLEE DU BOUILLON (4) finished 2nd in her first appearance in this category and seems ideally engaged to reconnect with success in a race/against opposition of this ilk. HILDA DU THYRAL (10) won at this level two starts back, so is likely to fight for victory, though the same could be said of veteran GALAK DE LA CAVEE (8), who ought to be more competitive without his shoes. FILOU DE PAM (5) can also make his presence felt.
