Serious trotter that was quickly eliminated at Enghien when well-supported. Is a tough nut to crack when focused and can give RIKITA JP (2) a run for her money

Won 2 on the trot, including a Class C over course and distance, before coming 5th in a Class A on turf on 26 April. Has been reconfigured, with David Thomain in the bike, and from the 4 slot has a reasonable chance of picking up some prizemoney

Ran 4th behind IRON DU GERS (7) in a Class C over track and trip on 21 March but has twice failed to confirm. Presents respectable references over course and distance and from the front row should be able to hold his own

Hardy Dutch element that was unlucky in Germany recently. Has shown decent aptitude over the main track and even though having pulled a tough number, can nevertheless contest a first-5 payout

Took some time to come good after winning at Laval last August. Beaten only by the good Katchi Quick late last month and even from the 2nd row should be able to play an active role

As versatile as they come, blessed with a fine turn of foot, and quite clearly in excellent shape, RIKITA JP (2) starts on the front line and is easy to fancy for this. Matthieu Abrivard will still be keeping a keen eye on the good DESIDERIO D'ESI (3) who starts upsides and who will revert to his habitual Vincennes configuration. IRON DU GERS (7) thrives over course and distance and JMB is back in the bike. KEEP YOUR DREAMS (11) is less favourably-drawn but reassured recently and Mathieu Mottier will be keen to prove it was no flash in the pan.
Useful dual-discipline mare that has yet to get fully into her stride this term and at this level will have her work cut out

Wonderfully-consistent since beginning to race barefoot. Has never imposed in this category but is always game and must be worth retaining

Won a Class B over course and distance on seasonal comeback early last month. Has been eliminated in both starts since but is a Gr.3 winner and will be no pushover if Eric Raffin keeps her trotting

By some margin the best horse in the field and still has considerable potential to tap. Has been reconfigured in a bid to make amends for latest elimination and Alexandre Abrivard can be forgiven for feeling bullish

A horse of significant ability, LOLO DU VELO (10) could well have won a Class B on comeback here in late-March had he kept trotting. He has been given time to reset, has been reconfigured for the occasion, and considering the entry, can set the record straight. Capricious he may be but GILLES GRIF (2) has no shortage of talent and can play a major role if Tamara Mathias-Maisonnette keeps him focused. Unbeaten in 2 barefoot starts, most recently over course and distance, MARIO DE LA VALLEE (3) is not without a chance of securing himself a hat-trick. At home under these conditions, LUCIFER D'ORPHEE (11) returns to the discipline with nothing to prove.

A fine servant when focused, FRENCHCONNECTION (8) drops back to a more reasonable level after being well-beaten in a Quinte here last month. He is forced to start wide but is reunited with Eric Raffin who won with him in February and, on good behaviour, can score his second of the year. Third that day and most recently 5th over longer here last week, SAMMY BOY (BEL) (10) imposed the last time he and Mathieu Mottier were associated. Also on the back line, SECRET OF LAW (13) comes here fresh, will be shod as he was when victorious at Agen, and must be respected. Nicely-positioned behind the car, LEADERBOARD (3) has been entrusted to Alexandre Abrivard for his Vincennes bow, will be barefoot, and can play a leading role if sufficiently fit.
Starts for the first time since September 2024 and will not be given a hard race

Following a pair of solid performances going right-handed, HASHTAG SIMONI (7) returns to Vincennes and a category he will appreciate and can finally make his way back into the winners' enclosure. Gabriele Gelormini will still want to be wary of JAMAIS (10) who has taken no time getting back to his best, and recent facile Class E winner MAX OCCAGNES (9) who will be entrusted to Eric Raffin. The nordic COMES WITH AGE (14) gave a fine account at Cholet on his French debut and makes his Vincennes bow with what appears to be a good hand to play. INVICTUS DE NILREM (11) has nothing to prove at this level and will not be far off the mark if Alexis Collette keeps him focused.
Imposed under these conditions on monte debut has failed to make any impact in 2 subsequent ridden runs. Is shod as he was in victory that day but is still not about to cause an upset

A terrific campaigner under the saddle, JESOLO (4) was quickly eliminated at Caen but should not be too quickly-judged. He imposed under these conditions in late-December and, if applied, can repeat. That being said, JIRI PACHA (3) presents very good course-and-distance credentials and, barefoot this time, looks the main threat. JERIKA DE KERYANN (2) is barefoot for the occasion, with Alexandre Avrivard in the irons, and has references over 2175m here. JOLI MANNEQUIN (12) has been simply superb this term and while unlikely to pull off the hat-trick with pads fitted, can nevertheless secure a place on the podium.
Put 4 straight eliminations behind her to run 3rd to MISSING (3) here 3.5 weeks ago, however a repeat seems most improbable

Undeniably capable but never far from faulting. Was going well on re-entry when eliminated here last week. Is not a priority but it will be interesting to see how she gets on with Matthieu Abrivard in the bike

A serious filly with a pair of fresheners under her belt this year, MALVINA MADRIK (8) gets to race barefoot for the first time and, if fully-fit, can win this. She will nevertheless encounter resistance from the progressive MISSING (3) who easily won over course and distance on last month's comeback, and a first-time barefoot MANHATTAN FRANCE (14) who has been knocking at the door for some time. MUSIQUE CLASSIQUE (5) struggled at the start of the year but got back in the game here late last month and, with form maintained, can again finish in the mix.
Showed a different side at La Capelle on 19 April when securing a 2750m Class E. Is more competitively-shod this time and unlikely to disappoint. Chance

Very good 3rd over course and distance on his first competitively-shod start, MILLE MERCIS (7) will not be sent out at 20-1 this time and can even get his nose in front. He will still meet opposition from the ideally-engaged, and first-time barefoot, MEGA D'UZE (9) whose comeback at Meslay-du-Maine did not go unnoticed, and MAITRE DU CHENE (1) who sports modified shoeing after having imposed at La Capelle last month. MANY DREAMS (3) raced better here a month ago than the result would suggest and should prove competitive when it matters.

Well-regarded but has quite the temperament. Has been entrusted to Christophe Soumillon for the first time and, in the amateur division, can find some recompense
Imposed at La Capelle in March but has twice failed to repeat since. Has never delivered over either track here and is unlikely to begin now

Pleased on comeback at Nort-sur-Erdre last month but has made no impact since and can expect to have few friends in the markets

Makes just 2nd appearance in the amateur category following a pair of good pro performances in the provinces. Starts on the back line and cannot be considered a contender, but could still pick up some prizemoney

Held her own in an Elbeuf claimer late last month on first appearance since August 2025. Will have improved for the race though and even from the 2nd row can make her presence felt

Barring a blip at Maure-de-Bretagne in March, ILLIMITEE (11) has not put a foot wrong lately. She is clearly close to her race, boasts excellent amateur credentials, and can bring home the bacon if her driver keeps her focused. KANAK DU BOCAGE (3) has ample ability but has been struggling for some time; he has been reconfigured for his amateur debut though and from the front row can play a prominent role. KARINA JOSSELYN (5) is complicated at the best of times but can trot when focused and, in this category, should be taken seriously. JAGUAR DU DOLLAR (2) also benefits from a front-line start and it is only a question of time before he gets back in the game.
