KENTUCKY FIRST (7), KENYAN BLUES (6) and KRISTAL DE JANZE (1) finished in that order at Enghien last month and should once again play leading roles. KOALA (5) is arguably better than the last-named and could even win this if he shows his true colours.
Starts for the first time since finishing 11th in a Class B over course and distance on 6 May. Sports modified shoeing but is still not a concern

Few runners, but the choice is not straightforward between MYSTIC DES FORGES (9), reconfigured and ideally-entered at the limit of earnings, MOHAWK (7), unbeaten in two starts with Eric Raffin, and MAVERICK DE FAEL (3), who should logically bounce back from his recent sanction. Like a horse reborn since coming to Paris, MEYDAN VOIRONS (4) is very hard to ignore.
Unplaced in a Group III at Enghien over 2,250m on 14 August, just his second appearance in the discipline. Is barefoot this time but others still preferred

Remarkable in the Gr.1 Prix de Normandie where he was only beaten in the final 100m by Lionheart, LEMON FLEURY (3) has been re-shod and can go one better. LIBERTE DU GOUTIER (6), who beat him in late-May here, will lead the opposition alongside LISBONNE DRY (7) who will be ridden by Eric Raffin with Paul Ploquin suspended.

LORD DU BASSIN (9) returns to Vincennes on the back of two fine victories and in current form could give the trainer-driver team a first Criterium des 5 Ans success. LANCIER DU GOUTIER (12), who won the 4yo Criterium in 2025, is barefoot and easy to like. LOMBOK JIEL (15) already has five podium finishes at this level and, similarly barefoot, must be considered a priority. LARIANO (3) has never been tested in this class but will be barefoot and, in present shape, could set the cat among the pigeons.
Pleasant 3rd in a Gr.2 over course and distance on 29 August. Franck Nivard has kept the drive and should prove competitive for a cheque

A very strong Criterium des 3 Ans in prospect. NEO DE JOUDES (13), on the way up, will be looking to reverse the form with NOCIVE DU CHOQUEL (15) who beat him in the Prix Albert Viel in June, however NAYA D'ERONVILLE (7), whose limits have yet to be established, can also play a prominent role. Watch out for NOBEL DU RIB (3), who left a fine impression behind NAT KING COLE (14) in the Gr.2 Prix Jacques de Vauloge.

Competitively-shod for the first time since June 2025, JET EXPRESS (9) will logically attract plenty of support.

Secured a Class C at Enghien over 2,150m on 25 July. Has been very hard to fault since returning in the spring and from the 5 slot looks dangerous

Lacklustre 7th in a Class F at Les Sables D'Olonne over 2,650m on 3 September, but is plainly better than that and, reunited with P-Y Verva who won with her in July, can get straight back in the game

Runner-up in a Class C at Vichy over 2,950m on 1 August. Won her sole start under these conditions and, in spite of a wide draw, still has a lot to offer

Finished 6th in a Class F at Enghien over 2,150m on 29 July, having run 2nd over longer a month earlier. Goes well for Francois Lagadeuc but is being aimed too high this time

Swedish mare that was given an easy introduction to France when 11th in a Class D over course and distance 2 weeks ago. Mathieu Mottier in the bike this time and, while not a priority, is still worth monitoring

It's open. LILY DE L'AUNAY (6), particularly effective under these conditions, LOVELY WILMA (5), at the top of her game, KASSIOPEE DREAM (7), who gets on well with Pierre-Yves Verva, and LARA CROFT (8), barefoot following an excellent comeback, are all capable of playing leading roles.
Won a Class E at Caen in May but has done nothing of note since, most recently 12th in a Class E at Enghien over 2,150m on 12 August, and will first need to get her house in order

Ran 3rd over course and distance before coming 4th in a Saint-Malo Class E early last month. Is shod to preference this time and can give DENIA (13) a run for her money

Made up for Cabourg disqualification when 4th in a Class E at Les Sables-d'Olonne on 21 August. Is a serious trotter when focused and, already a winner with her driver, must be afforded respect

Erik Bondo appears to hold the key to this race with DENIA (13), ideally-engaged, DILVA JET (2), close to her race and reconfigured for the occasion, and DADA DEL RONCO (8), who is plainly back on track. JOCELYNE (7), whose only barefoot start on the sand resulted in victory, looks next best.
