Went close in Bordeaux 3 weeks ago, then oddly disappointing 6th behind IMELDA (6) in a 2175m Class D here on 3 February. Sports a revised formula and is not incapable of getting back in the game

Starts for first time since coming surprise 3rd of 16 in a 2850m Class D here on 28 December. Imposed last time over 2700m here and the Eric Raffin-factor must be taken into consideration

After 2 years 7 months away from the discipline, got straight down to business over 2200m here on 19 December. Was subsequently less effective under harness at Cagnes but, winner of his only start over the main track, looks the pick of the field

Most impressive winner over the inner course on his return to the monte code in December, the superbly-engaged IBROX PARK (8) faces his first real objective of the new year and under Alexandre Abrivard should take some beating. STACCATO HL (3) has not won since October 2024 but he consistently gives his best and takes a dip in category with a realistic chance of contesting the finish. Eric Raffin takes over on HUMOUR FESTIF (5) who ran 3rd in a competitive Class D here in late-December.
Eliminated in both Vincennes starts to date. Has yet to show much liking for the venue and even with shoes off is not easy to recommend

Made a good transition from winning over 2060m in Turin to running 3rd, a place behind GO BIG EFFE (9), in a Class D under these conditions on 22 January. Goes barefoot again and should be good enough to pick up some prizemoney

MUZAN KIBUTSUJI (12) has taken well to Vincennes conditions; he put in a fine performance here late last month after having run 5th in a Gr.3 on Christmas Day and appears to have a realistic chance of opening his French account. Robin Bakker will still be mindful of GO BIG EFFE (9) who was beaten only by a very good horse here last month, and quality Italian colt GIOIELLO ROC (4) who will be barefoot for the first time and entrusted to Gabriele Gelormini. MADMAX JEF (15) has been knocking at the door here this winter, and he too will be first-time barefoot.
Showed considerable talent at 3 before being forced onto the sidelines. Has been eased back in to the game, is plainly in competition-mode this time, and looks a leading contender

A quality element that missed the entirety of his 4yo season, LORD DAIRPET (1) has a pair of conditioners under his belt and, racing barefoot for the first time, could well get straight back down to business. LITCHI BAM (12) has not been seen out since imposing at Enghien in October, but he benefits from a golden entry and will be barefoot for the occasion. LEVEL ONE SYGA (9) gave a surprisingly good account on his recent comeback and looks competitively well in. 4th that day after having won at Cagnes in January, LINO GUILLERVILLE (10) also enjoys a good entry and can challenge for any of the 3 steps on the podium.

Back at the top of his game this winter, JOKER DU CHOQUEL (9) should logically have finished closer here last month and Alexandre Abrivard will be determined to set the record straight. He will still want to be wary of JOUR ET NUIT (8) who returns to Vincennes reconfigured and on a hat-trick, and the well-entered and in-form JOKER DE MARZY (14) who races barefoot for his return to the capital. Consistently performant in his current configuration, JOG JELOCA (13) stormed up at Graignes a fortnight ago and makes his Vincennes bow with a lot to contribute.
Capable on a good day but somewhat disappointing of late. Stays shod and best to hold off

Winner of 5 of the 6 races he has run in Paris, GLOBAL CONCEPT (8) made his mark across town during the summer and most recently opened his Vincennes account with room to spare. He won his only start for Gabriele Gelormini who will be keen to keep their perfect partnership going. JANKO HAUFOR (11) has been in cracking form here this winter and most recently dominated a Class B. Bizarrely lacklustre that day, JIZOU D'ETANG (6) will be expected to bounce back. IMHOTEP FROMENTRO (5) took 4th and, if still on the boil, can again challenge for a place in the frame. Back at a more reasonable level after failing to make any impact in the Gr.1 Prix de France, IDOLE D'OURVILLE (15) will not be going home empty-handed.

An exceptional colt with just one blot on his otherwise excellent copybook, NOB HILL (11) put in quite the showing when close 2nd in the Gr.2 Prix Paul Viel here 3 weeks ago. He is sure though to come up against Philippe Allaire's wonderfully talented, and padded, NORMANDIE NIEMEN (13) who simply romped in the Gr.2 Prix Roquepine on the same day, and NOT THIS TIME (7) who secured a Gr.3 with authority a fortnight ago. NUEVO CASH (12) met little opposition in the Gr.2 Prix Maurice de Gheest and his recent Paul Viel performance did not go unnoticed.

Should not be too hastily-judged for faulting in Bordeaux 3 weeks ago. Has form in superior company and the entry will only enhance her chances

A fine campaigner that has taken well to Vincennes conditions, KUEEN'S PRIDE (15) put in a very good performance here last month and looks capable of imposing this time. She will still feel the heat from stablemate KALINE DE FAEL (14) who is as good in one code as the other, and the well-engaged KIVALA RENARDIER (16) who will be competitive at this level, if applied. KYNTE FLUSH (7) is difficult to knock when she has her mind on the game and will be expected to play an active role.
4th to MOSTRA DE BANVILLE (7) in Gr.3 Prix de Riberac over course and distance on 11 January, but will have too much to do on this occasion

Sent for a spell after winning 2 in a row here in November. Convincingly imposed on comeback in a Class A here 3 weeks ago and should again prove competitive for a first-5 cheque

Was not disgraced when 5th to MAGICO DE LOU (10) over course and distance a fortnight ago. Has ground to make up but has been reconfigured for the occasion and should not disappoint if focused

Honest filly that clinched 2100m Gr.3 Prix Albert Rayon here mid-December. Has not raced for 2 months but sports fresh shoeing and will be worth monitoring

A talented colt that has tasted defeat just the once, MAKE YOUR DAY (9) has no references over 2850m here, but has shown considerable versatility and can pick up this year where he left off last season. That said, Dutch star PARANOH NEWPORT (4) is already a Gr.2 winner and although unseen since November, he will be competitively-shod and no soft touch. MOSTRA DE BANVILLE (7) is difficult to use but she won a Gr.3 in November and another early last month. MAKE A DREAM (11) needed no time to start showing his form after the autumn break and just missed out here late last month.
Serious trotter with very good Vincennes monte credentials but at this level of competition can expect to be found wanting

Sprang an 89-1 surprise when victorious in 2850m Gr.2 Prix Jacques Andrieu here 3 weeks ago. A repeat seems unlikely but will generate more support than he did that day

Has yet to win under the saddle but has decent references all the same. Has imposed under harness over 2175m but looks a minor place prospect at best

Wonderful servant with an enviable strike-rate. Has nothing to prove in this grade of race and can bring home the bacon if 2175m is not too short

Most impressive winner of a harness Class A on his comeback last weekend, IDEAL DU ROCHER (5) will have been kept on the boil and, having passed his monte test last November, he returns to the discipline with a realistic chance of doubling his money. Mathieu Mottier will still be legitimately concerned by IMPALA DE VAL (8) who, although untried over 2175m, has been firing on all cylinders and will be no easy touch. As tough as they come and never easy to knock when barefoot, FILWELL (9) has a pair of runs under his belt since his lengthy break and, with application, can trot his way onto the podium. HYMNE DU GERS (3) makes just his 2nd appearance in the code, but will be barefoot with Alexandre Abrivard in the irons this time, and must be afforded respect.
Useful colt but has looked rather ordinary lately and even though reconfigured for the first time, still has little to contribute

Has yet to excel over the main track but is not devoid of ability. Showed his condition here last weekend and can make the frame if Benjamin Rochard keeps him trotting

Has turned a corner recently and has shown a liking for the Vincennes main track. Is more competitively-shod this time and can exact revenge on stable companion MELLOW SPEED (6) who has his measure earlier in the month

Returns to a more reasonable level after failing to fire in a Class A here 3 weeks ago. Should appreciate this shorter trip and is unlikely to let the side down

Is better than his 7th behind MAJOR DU BISTON (7) in a 2100m Class B here on 18 January would imply. Is not about to cause an upset but can nevertheless get in on the action

MANNINEN SEVEN (3) has begun to come good again since being allowed to race competitively-shod. He ran close 2nd to stablemate MELLOW SPEED (6) here earlier in the month, sports modified shoeing, and can turn the tables and deny Romain Congard's colt the hat-trick. MIKADO GEDE (2) was eliminated early under these very conditions last weekend but subsequently showed his form, and the new formula could make all the difference. MAJOR DU BISTON (7) took on too much last time out but, barefoot at this level, can play an active role.
