Given the style of his victory at Saint-Malo, EXPLOIT KRONOS (4) should attract plenty of support, but Benjamin Rochard will have to keep an eye on FRENCHCONNECTION (6), who has just fully reassured, and a barefoot EMIRRE (3), who merits close attention on his French debut. KLAUS VON HERTEN (8) looks close to his race and will also be competitive if Matthieu Abrivard positions him early.

Leader of her generation, NOCIVE DU CHOQUEL (9) returns to Vincennes with Francois Lagadeuc determined to make amends for her recent misstep in the Gr.2 Prix Reine du Corta, but the talented, and fully-padded, NORMANDIE NIEMEN (8) is capable of making her work for it. The constantly improving NYASSA DAXEL (3) and the reliable NOELA JOSSELYN (7) recently finished close behind the Allaire filly and should give this a good go.

Blew up, finishing 8th in a Group II at Enghien over 2,150m on 14 August 2026. Has so far failed to reproduce last winter's form but will be reined by Benjamin Rochard this time, which may be just the ticket to her redemption

Even though it was contested under different conditions, the Prix Paul Leguerney can be considered the key race. Excellent second that day, when barefoot for the first time, MARINELLA VRIE (8) showed that she could make her mark at Gr.2 level. Reliable and proven here, she should finish close. MAGIC NIGHT (13) is the class act of the race. She has the strongest form, but her latest performance was a concern. Reconfigured, she has to be retained though, along with MADRID HAUFOR (12), who has recharged her batteries after two spring victories and returns in full race-mode. MOSTRA DE BANVILLE (7) was quickly out of contention after making a mistake on 14 August, but a repeat of her previous run against the males would see her play an active role at the finish. MILA DES COUPERIES (9), who won the key race after a perfectly-timed trip, is impossible to ignore, especially as she will be racing barefoot for the first time.

Just missed out on the three-timer when 2nd in a Class D at Rochefort Sur Loire over 3,000m on 16 August 2026. Has been in fine form since early-May and even though moving up in category can finish in the mix

Finished 2nd in a Class B at Enghien over 2,875m on 6 August 2026. Consistently gives her best and with form maintained can challenge for a place in the picture

Should not be too quickly-condemned for losing his action in a Class D across town 2.5 weeks ago. Has already won a Class D over 2700m here this season and cannot be discounted

Fifth in a Class B at Enghien over 2,875m on 29 July 2026. Is barefoot as he was when 4th behind JUST DE L'OISON (13) in an Enghien Class B on 11 July and represents a decent place chance

In peak condition, JUST DE L'OISON (13) looks capable of giving 25m to the reconfigured, recent Enghien winner IDEAL DE CASTELLE (8) who has never finished outside the first four in nine starts with Eric Raffin. Seldom seen barefoot, COLBERT WF (12) is one to fear, as well as the reliable XERAVA C.D. (7) whose recent outing was most encouraging.
Got back in the game at Cabourg a fortnight ago when 4th in a 2725m Class E. Alexandre Abrivard reining this time but others still easier to support

Showed improvement when 5th in an Agon Class E mid-month. Has no Vincennes references but in the hands of Damien Bonne will be afforded every chance

Finished 11th in a Class E at Enghien over 2,150m on 6 August 2026. Is significantly better than that but will first need to re-establish his credentials

Excellent runner-up in a Class E at Enghien over 2,150m on 6 August 2026. Has been knocking at the door this summer and the change of venue may be just the ticket

Finished 6th in a Group III at Grenade-Sur-Garonne over 2,700m on 15 August 2026. Takes a notable dip in category, appreciates these conditions, and despite the wide draw can bring home the bacon

Easy winner of a Class E at Argentan over 2,150m on 16 August 2026. Eric Raffin in the bike this time and a repeat is not out of the question

Ran 6th in a Class E at Enghien over 2,150m on 6 August 2026 after having twice placed the previous month. Paul Ploquin gets the nod this time but still looks no more than a minor place chance

ICARE DUNGY (9), reconfigured and twice second here during the winter, INTREPIDE DES BOIS (7), who looks close to his race and who runs barefoot this time, and HORUS DE VAL (11), an impressive recent winner at Argentan, look the leading contenders. They can be preferred to IASELMA (8) whose form is not in question.
