A classy individual, ISLAND CASH (7) gave a good account on her only start under these conditions and shod the same way she was at Angers could make this her own. Gaylor Monnier will still want to be wary of the tricky INKY PERRINE (8) who goes particularly well for her driver of the day. The consistent ITALIA JADOR (9) caught the eye at Laval recently and in similar form will be dangerous, as should ISLAND STAR (6) who returned to winning ways late last month.
Modest and heavily-campaigned individual that seldom makes any impression and is not about to change his ways

Although not the most reliable, ILLICO DES BAUX (2) has always been a decent trotter. He has come into his own this year and in current form is well-placed to win this. It is not a given though, considering how well the good INSTINCTIF (7) raced behind him last month, although the unshod and hardened IBIS QUICK (5) may be more of a spoiler candidate on this occasion. IMOKO MADRIK (6) is a versatile type and with three places in his last four starts and should again have a good hand to play.
Quality Danish import that gave a good account on French debut. Soundly beaten here last weekend but backs up with a chance of making amends

Vitale Ciotola is well-represented here with three runners and two immediately catch the eye, notably CHERRY TOP (10) who returns to Vincennes on a hat-trick, and COLLIER (12) who won over course and distance on her penultimate start. ISYBOY DE CINGLAIS (14) has been knocking at the door in both codes recently and with hind shoes off this time looks dangerous. BEAT GENERATION (8) has just one race under his belt and is not incapable, with Eric Raffin, of making his French debut a winning one.

Remarkably consistent in this branch of the business and a winner over course and distance earlier in the year, FILOU D'ANJOU (14) prepped under harness and looks set to secure his first objective of the new season. He is unlikely to have it all his own way though given how successful FLASH ROYAL (4) has been in either code this year. FRENCH WAY OF LIFE (7) struck gold on her monte debut late last month and looks capable of making another big impact. FIESTA DE FROULAY (10) is not one to be underestimated when unshod and will justifiably garner support.

Those on the back line appear to have the advantage here and the delicate HOSTIA (16) may well be the one to beat, provided she can stay in stride. GALANTE HAUFOR (13) is never far from losing her action either but seldom disappoints when applied. There will be further opposition from the likes of course-and-distance winner GALIE DE CELINIERE (14), who will have come on for her re-entry run, and HINGALA VRIE (15) who caught the eye here three weeks ago despite being sanctioned.

Some serious quality in this small field and it is hard to ignore the presence of I CAN DREAM (5) who won with authority over course and distance ten days ago and looks set to repeat. The ever-consistent IBIKI DE HOUELLE (6) trotted third to her that day and again looks the main threat. Often a bridesmaid at this level, IBERIK DE MONGOCHY (8) was given a prep under harness and apply the pressure once more. IES WE KAN (4) left a good impression on his monte debut behind the favourite and is expected to show some progress.
Quality element that made seasonal debut over track and trip. First time unshod all four and looks capable of opening his annual account

JOSS CAPELLO (1) has shown significant potential since his debut last summer. He was by no means disgraced on re-entry here late February but has had time to freshen up and racing first-time barefoot will be a leading contender. Winner of his last two starts when similarly unshod, JAGUAR DU BOCAGE (2) may well prove the principal threat. JASMIN FLEURY (8) starts wide but has form under these conditions and should not be far off the mark. JOYEUX DES VAUX (5) gets an Eric Raffin drive this time and can begin to set the record straight.

Difficult to manage he may be but GAMIN JABA (16) could well have imposed at Nimes recently had he stayed in stride and deserves to be given a second chance. Nicolas Bazire will still want to keep an eye on the useful GLAMOUR QUEEN (13) who left a very good impression at Laval earlier in the month. FANATIC FLASH (7) got straight down to business over shorter on re-entry here two months ago and is sure to be competitive once more. FILHIO DE LOU (15) was successful across town last time out and in present form it is hard to see him being far from the action.
