Put on quite the show in a Class D under these conditions, on re-entry, late last month. Will have come on for the race and looks the principal danger to IKURO JIEL (11)

Runner-up twice here in February before failing to deliver in an Enghien Class C 2.5 weeks ago. Sports pads this time though and represents no more than a minor place chance

Well-campaigned trotter making first start for new stable. Showed his form at Cagnes last time, benefits from a fine entry here, and debuts in the discipline with a respectable chance of picking up a cheque

IKURO JIEL (11) has not put a foot wrong since the turn of the year, takes a marginal dip in category after running 2nd in better company at Enghien last month, and has every chance of confirming January's course-and-distance success. IDEAL DU NOYER (2), however, made an excellent comeback under these conditions just 10 days ago and will not be available at 62-1 this time. GLADIATOR BOY (5) ran 3rd to Jean-Luc Dersoir's horse here on his penultimate start and Agathe Poulain will be keen to make up for his February elimination. IGO CLEA (9) returns to a more reasonable level after having taken on too much across town last month, and can pick up some prizemoney this time.

KOUREAS D'ELA (10) took little time getting back in the winners' enclosure after her winter break and, having clocked her fastest time that day, will be well-backed to repeat. She will still face opposition from recent Angers winner KASSYA (12) who has previously imposed under these conditions, and the nicely-entered and in-form KALMIA BOSS (7) who benefits from a 25m head-start. JUSTE DU GERS (11) incurs the penalty but she has been superb this year and her trainer-driver Fabien Gence can be confident of another competitive performance.
Has a race under his felt following the winter break. Has never failed to fire when unshod-behind and is not about to start now. Claim

Shod to preference for his first target of the year, LE GENTLEMAN (1) thrives with Benjamin Rochard and is not incapable of winning this. He can expect to feel the heat though from LETIKALIN (7) who excels in the day's configuration, and a less competitively shod LUCKY MESLOIS (8) who has never been in better shape. LET IT SNOW (5) has been knocking at the door for a number of months and the draw will only work to his advantage.

MARTIN DOL (5) takes to Vincennes for the first time after having twice won with ease in the provinces. He goes barefoot for the occasion and if he takes to the main-track profile should have this in the bag. Leading the opposition, MAGIK DE PIERRAIS (4) showed his form in last month's return run and will be competitively-shod for the first time, with Eric Raffin reining. MURO (2) put in a fine performance in Marseille recently and looks a place prospect once more. Third under these conditions in February, MONTANA MONNERIE (1) races barefoot as he was that day and is unlikely to disappoint.

Still very lightly raced at the age of 8, ISTORIC MAUZUN (10) returns to a track he adores following an early-season spell. Second in a Class C under these conditions on New Year's Day, he goes barefoot again and is easy to like for the win this time. HAJIME (9) is back in the capital after some misfortune in a Marseille-Borely Gr.3 and will be partnered by Mathieu Mottier who went close with him here in February. GOODMORNING CHARLY (4) has turned a corner over recent months and imposed under these conditions last time at the venue. GAGNEUR (16) may not have been firing on all cylinders for some time but he has a race under his belt, benefits from a terrific entry, and will be shod to preference.

While never far from losing her action, LA GUARDIA (8) is a mare of decent ability; she showed her form after being eliminated at Enghien, and can make a big splash if Paul Ploquin assures her initial strides. LADY ANGELE (9), though, has not missed a beat since returning from her break and Mathieu Mottier will be hoping he can keep their relationship undefeated. LOVE ME BERRY (12) is just 50 Euros from elimination, is quite obviously in fine form, and is easy to recommend. Winner at Pontchateau on re-entry late last month, LIPA STAR (3) races barefoot this time and at this level is hard to ignore.
Seldom far from losing his action but has ample ability. Was quickly eliminated in last Saturday's comeback run here but, if applied, can pick up a slice of the pie

Simply superb since the turn of the year, MUNHOA VEDAQUAISE (4) won the Gr.3 Prix de Dozule with ease in January before confirming in the Gr.3 Prix de Fontainebleau 2.5 weeks later, and it will take a very big performance to get in the way of her hat-trick bid. MILOR DE LA VALLEE (2) would have run 3rd in the latter had he not lost his action, and Eric Raffin will be eager to put things right. It was MACK DAIRPET (5) who ultimately filled that spot and will again be expected to contest a place on the podium. Runner-up in a Gr.2 here during the winter meeting, LAMBADA DU GOUTIER (7) most recently secured a Class B under these conditions and even though stepping up in category, nevertheless looks competitive for a first-3 payout.

Capable type but races shod for re-entry and best to keep one's powder dry
Seldom disappoints when barefoot and applied. Ran 4th under these conditions before winning a Caen Class B Quinte a month ago and should again figure prominently

Gave a good account of herself on re-entry at Lyon-Parilly 10 days ago. Will have come on for the race and is unlikely to be far from the action

Has not won since September but always gives his best when he manages to stay in stride. Is barefoot this time, has form over track and trip, but others still easier to back

Respectable sort but failed to make the grade under these conditions on penultimate start and is not an obvious choice

Has failed to finish closer than 5th in last 6 outings and latest effort did little to convince

Has made the frame in all 3 starts this year, latterly 3rd, a place behind LORD TURGOT (10), in a 2700m Class B here in late-February. Will be justly-rewarded one of these days and must be considered a serious proposition

Should not be too hastily-judged for being eliminated while prepping for this at Laval. Is barefoot this time and, is already a winner over 2850m, can wrap this up

3rd in a 2100m Class B in February prior to finishing last in 21 March race of reference, and will need to show marked improvement

Disappointing in 2 after having given a good account in Gr.1 Prix Bold Eagle, but is better than most here and, if given the chance, can finish close

Reverts to racing with pads after twice failing to confirm early-February course-and-distance success. On better behaviour though can play a small part

Serious Swedish raider that left a good impression when 3rd in a Class B over course and distance 3 weeks ago and, with application, can repeat

Got the year off to a good start but came disappointing 7th behind FIGHTER KRONOS (14) in a Class B under these conditions 3 weeks ago. Reverts to previous configuration though and, considering the entry, can finish closer

Useful at home in Sweden but faces tough test on first appearance for 2 months. Will be barefoot for French debut but still not a concern

Excellent when barefoot, and seldom disappointing at Vincennes, LORD TURGOT (10) may have no references under these conditions, but he is plainly in rude health and, barefoot this time, will take all the beating. FERAHAN AS (12) tends to prefer a more even track but he is better than recent numbers would suggest and could pleasantly surprise. It took a couple of orientation runs but FIGHTER KRONOS (14) put in quite the showing here recently and will be partnered by Eric Raffin for the first time. LAMONT DU DOUET (9) is clearly close to his race and has thrived with Mathieu Mottier. FORCE OF NATURE (4) got back in the winners' circle at Caen, has form under these conditions, and must be taken at face value.
