Vincennes 19 April 2024

Unraced since being sanctioned in a 2100m Class C here on 8 February, but has been entrusted to JMB this time and will not be far off the mark if he can keep her trotting

7th of 11 finishers in a 2150m Enghien Class C mid-March, on first start since the break. Hind shoes off this time and while not a priority, is still worth watching

Showed improvement when 4th of 8 in a 2200m monte Class D here 2 weeks ago but in this company will struggle to make any impact

Won at Bordeaux last month before being sanctioned in a 2700m Vincennes Gr.2 last weekend. Hind shoes off this time and with Eric Raffin reining, will generate interest

Sent for a break after faulting over track and trip late-November but won a 2750m Ecommoy Class D on re-entry late last month and, barefoot again, can confirm

Imposed here 3 weeks ago before coming a surprisingly lacklustre 8th behind JEU COQUIN (8) in a 2100m Class C a fortnight back, but has ample ability and can challenge for a place in the frame this time

Last of 8 in a 2875m Enghien claimer a month ago. Races barefoot this time but still not an obvious choice

Has turned a corner recently, latterly trotting 3rd of 16, at 40/1, in a 2100m Class C here 2 weeks ago. Has to be taken seriously now and can again make the first 5

Never at her ease when sanctioned in a 2700m Class B here on 1 March. More competitively-shod this time and with her mind on the game can play a leading role

Reassuring 3rd of 10 finishers in a 2100m Vincennes Class C a fortnight ago. Benefits from a good entry, has already imposed under these conditions, and looks dangerous

Has not been seen out since coming 4th of 6 in a 2700m monte Gr.2 here early-November. Has other priorities and can be passed over

7th of 12 finishers in a 2725m Lisieux Class D a month back and, even with front pads fitted, already looks out of her depth

8th of 9 to INO DU LUPIN (5) in a 2700m Class B here late last month. Competitively-shod but still cannot be considered a player

Sanctioned in late-March race of reference, when going well. Appreciates the main track profile and looks main danger to INO DU LUPIN (5)

Has not raced since coming 2nd to INO DU LUPIN (5) in a 2700m Class B here on 1 March. Won 3 times for Eric Raffin over the winter, will be fresh, and can again figure prominently

Extraordinary trotter with an enviable strike-rate, latterly winning a 2700m Class B with authority here on 23 March and is unlikely to be bested

Has not been seen out since coming 11th of 13 finishers in a 2450m Caen Class C early-October and is going to need the run

Sanctioned when never dangerous in a 3250m Lyon-La Soie Gr.3 9 days ago and is not about to set off any fireworks

Got back in the game when runner-up to INO DU LUPIN (5) in a 2700m Class B here on 23 March. Unlikely to repeat but will still be competitive for a first-5 cheque

11th of 15 when prepping for this in a 2700m Gr.2 here a fortnight ago. Has nothing to prove at this level and is thoroughly capable of making the frame

4th of 16 in a Class A over 2850m at Laval, when shod, on 13 March. Has fine references under these conditions and, with shoes off can challenge for a place in the frame

Has not been seen out since coming last of 9 in a 2700m Class A here on 25 January and will not be losing his maiden status this week either

Somewhat disappointing 4th of 8 finishers in Gr.3 Prix Penthesilea over 2700m here 3 weeks ago. Is clearly capable but, in this company, may have to settle for a minor place cheque

Oddly out of sorts when 6th in Gr.3 Prix Penthesilea late last month. 4 pads fitted this time, with JMB reining, and can make the first 5

Sanctioned when well-backed in Gr.3 Prix Penthesilea over 2700m here 3 weeks ago. Nivard gets another go at it but others easier to back

Has gone from strength to strength, most recently 3rd behind LARGO DE CASTELLE (6) in Gr.3 Prix Penthesilea over 2700m here 3 weeks ago. With application and form maintained, he can finish close

Mildly surprised when 2nd in Gr.3 Prix Penthesilea over 2700m here 3 weeks ago, beating a number of these. Benjamin Rochard back in the wagon and looks a decent place chance once more

6th, behind LOMBOK JIEL (8), in Gr.2 Prix Paul Viel over 2700m here late-January. Comes here fresh, shod, and in with a realistic shout of making the frame

Handy sort that came 2nd of 12 in a 2700m Class E at Lyon-La Soie 9 days ago but bites off more than he can chew this time

Lost his action in a Class C over course and distance last weekend and will have little to offer here

Has buckets of talent but never far from faulting, as he did in Prix Cornelia when sent out favourite. Gets another crack at it and Adrien Lamy will be loathe to let the same thing happen again

Surprise 4th behind GALET STED (5) in Gr.3 Prix Cornelia earlier this month. Unlikely to repeat but nonetheless has claims on a spot in first 5

Enjoying a new lease on life since switching codes, latterly 3rd of 13 in Gr.3 Prix Cornelia over 2850m here a fortnight back. Has earned the right to race at this level and can play a prominent part

Raced better than her recent 7th in Gr.3 Prix Cornelia would suggest but still cannot be considered a priority

Has pleased for the most part under the saddle this year, most recently 5th, 2 places behind GALET STED (5), in Gr.3 Prix Cornelia over 2850m here 2 weeks ago. Is barefoot again and should not be written off

Remarkable mare that flew up in Gr.1 Prix Henri Desmontils over 3000m here early-March and will again take all the beating

Sanctioned, when prepping for this in a 3100m Angers harness Gr.3 on 3 April. Front pads fitted and can finish close if Jean-Loic Claude Dersoir keeps her trotting

Fine campaigner that finished 3rd to EDITION GEMA (8) in Gr.1 Prix Henri Desmontils over 3000m here early-March, after having trotted 3rd in Gr.1 Prix de l'Ile-de-France, and will not go down easily

Unseen since being sanctioned in a 2850m Class B here last December. Has struggled since coming to France and even racing barefoot, will still have his work cut out

Good 3rd of 16 in a 2150m Enghien Class D on 8 March. Cannot be considered a priority but should still acquit himself honestly

3rd of 5 finishers in a 2750m monte Class F at La Capelle on 7 April. Better in the other code but races barefoot, with JMB reining, and is not to be ignored

Capable provincial trotter that came 2nd of 11 in a 2500m Reims amateurs Class G 11 days ago. Has a mountain to climb this time though and can be ruled out

3rd to BITCOIND'ARC (10) here last month before securing a 2600m Cavaillon Class F a fortnight ago. Reunited with Yoann Lebourgeois and will be afforded every chance

Failed to confirm good Cagnes run when 11th of 16 in a 2850m Vincennes Class C late last month and already looks an also-ran

Dominated a decent field to win a 2100m Class D here on 22 March. Has respectable main-track references and, on good behaviour, should not disappoint

Missed out on the hat-trick when 2nd of 15 in a 2875m Argentan Class E 3 weeks ago. In superior company this time but can still hold his own

Quickly sanctioned in a Class C over track and trip on 22 March. Has otherwise been in cracking form and can play a leading role if Bjorn Goop keeps him trotting

2nd to CHITCHAT (9) at Enghien before clinching victory in a Class C over course and distance on 22 March and, with form maintained, can trot his way onto the podium

Scored his 2nd straight when securing a 2100m Vincennes Class C with ease a fortnight ago. Unbeaten over 2700m here and will be expected to remain that way

Ran close at Caen early-March before faulting in a 2850m Laval Class E late last month. Shoes on and will be no easy touch if Francois Lagadeuc keeps him trotting

Showed improvement when 3rd of 9 finishers in a 2850m Laval Class E mid-March. Is on the way back up and appears to represent a decent first-5 prospect

Won 2 on the trot before being sent for a break and defied his odds on re-entry when 4th of 13 in a 2850m Laval Class E 3 weeks ago. Unlikely to spring a surprise but should still give an honest account

Encouraged here early last month before losing his action, when well-supported, in a 2875m Class E at Meslay-du-Maine 18 days later. Not a priority but still has the wherewithal to get a look-in

Erratic colt but reassured when 2nd of 7 finishers in a 2150m Argentan Class E 3 weeks ago. If focused and in similar form, there should be a cheque in it for him

Returned to winning ways in a 2600m Nancy Class F 3 weeks ago. In this company though, will need to find significantly more

Modest individual that was sanctioned, when left alone in the markets, in a 2050m Lyon-La Soie Class D last week and will not be springing any surprises

Reassuring 4th, a place behind KOUTBOL (12), in a 2450m Caen Class E on 27 March. Will be fully-fit by now and with a leading driver reining, must be afforded considerable respect

Unbeaten in 3 starts to date, most recently a tenacious winner of a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E a fortnight ago. First time racing over the main track but has already won at the venue and can confirm

6th of 16 in a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine Class E a month back. Shod more competitively this time but still looks to have too much to do

Has demonstrated considerable aptitude, latterly missing out by little for 2nd in a 2450m Caen Class E on 27 March. Debuts at Vincennes but can make this his own if he takes to the new profile

Useful filly making first appearance since finishing an unlucky 5th of 11 behind LIZA JOSSELYN (8) in a 2700m Class A here late-February. Shoes on though and best to hold off

Tough winner of a Class B over course and distance 3 weeks ago, maintaining her perfect status. Climbs the category ladder but is eminently up to the task and has a realistic chance of getting her nose in front

Sanctioned in Prix de Chatillon on return from her winter break. Will have come on for the run, sports hind pads this time, but others still easier to back

Faulted early in Prix de Chatillon late March. Has yet to make her mark at Group level and is not about to start here

Quickly sanctioned in Gr.3 Prix de Chatillon over 2700m here on 23 March. Has merit though and can hold her own if Leo Abrivard assures her initial strides

Showed improvement when runner-up to LIZA JOSSELYN (8) in Gr.3 Prix de Chatillon over 2700m here late last month. Has yet to disappoint for Eric Raffin and looks a major player

2nd, at 135/1, in Gr.2 Prix Roquepine before being sanctioned when beaten in Gr.1 Prix Comte Pierre de Montesson over 2700m here on 18 February. Will be more at home here and, with application, will not be far off the mark

Winner of 4 from 5 to date, latterly Gr.3 Prix de Chatillon over 2700m here, with ease, on 23 March. JMB back in the sulky and can continue her victorious ways

Fine servant making her first appearance since faulting in Gr.2 Prix Roquepine in late-January. Front pads fitted for comeback, another leading driver reining, and over this shorter trip, will be no soft touch

Last of 10 when prepping for this in a 2800m Cholet Class E at the start of the month. Yoann Lebourgeois reining this time and victory is well within her capacity

Won under these conditions earlier in the year but disappointing of late, most recently coming 9th of 13 in a 2700m Class D here a fortnight ago. Gets on well with Francois Lagadeuc though and will justifiably generate interest
