Comfortable winner of a 2850m Class C here a fortnight ago. Has yet to be bested here and the nature if his latest victory augurs well for the Vincennes hat-trick

Drops in category after running 8th of 12 in a Class B over track and trip on 3 October. Is no slouch when focused but looks only a minor place prospect at best

Unlucky here in September then denied a run in a Class B over course and distance on 3 October, coming 3rd of 12, and Eric Raffin will be keen to set the record straight. Chance

3rd of 13, a place behind HOLLYWOOD DU BOIS (15), in a 2850m Class C here on 10 October. Has hardly put a foot out of line since late-spring and warrants considerable respect

Placed twice before coming 4th of 11 behind HOLLYWOOD DU BOIS (15) in a 2850m Class C here on 10 October. Could possibly have finished closer that day and Benjamin Rochard will be eager to prove the point

Made up for Lisieux disappointment when 2nd of 13 in a 2850m Class C here 3 weeks ago. Is barefoot with Mathieu Mottier reining again and must not be overlooked

Unbeaten in 2 Vincennes starts since moving south, POWER DOC (3) races over 2700m this time, but he has shown considerable versatility and may just be good enough to deny the talented COLBERT WF (8) who has not enjoyed the best of luck lately. A talented mare with an excellent entry here, IMPLORA MAUZUN (14) has been re-shod but still looks dangerous. IACYNTHE DIDJEAP (13) has been on a productive run of form and is better than his latest result would imply. HIMBERLAND (9) finished ahead of him here 3 weeks ago and in current condition is easy to like for a first-5 cheque.
Unraced since running 8th of 9 finishers in a 2750m Cabourg Class D on 19 August. Is new to Vincennes and cannot be regarded a player

Promising early in the year, MELICIANA (3) gave a very good account on her recent Laval re-entry; she will have progressed for the run and can impose this time. Mathieu Mottier will still be wary of MAGIQUE HAUFOR (14) who makes her Vincennes bow on a hat--trick, and MINYA KONKA (6) who has been knocking at the door. MALAGA TURGOT (10) steps up in category after getting off the mark on turf but has bags of potential and is unlikely to let the side down.
Last of 9 in a 2800m Vire claimer on 21 September and has no realistic chance

Not overstretched after a difficult trip on his Vincennes debut last month, MILLE MERCIS (13) returns to the venue with Paul Ploquin in the bike and with more luck in running can wrap this up. He will still be keeping an eagle eye on the delicate but talented MALKO MESLOIS (10) was eliminated after having looked solid that day, and MY LOVE D'EVEL (7) who returns to Vincennes after having left a very good impression at the venue early last month. Better than both of his recent return runs would suggest, MADISON SEVEN (2) will be reunited with JMB who should put things right.
Returned to winning ways on 13 September in a 2950m Vichy Class C. Takes a notable step up in category but is first-time barefoot and must be respected

A fine campaigner with an enviable strike-rate, JASON GINYU (7) was not the most fortunate on his re-entry on a wet day here earlier this month, but the run will have done him good and Arnaud Desmottes will be determined to set the record straight. JILORD VIVA (9) ran a tenacious 4th that day and receives an Eric Raffin drive for the occasion. JAPPELOUP TURGOT (10) takes a small dip in class after holding his own in good company at Feurs, and should be able to make the frame this time. JASON (8) races barefoot following a convincing return to competition and will be partnered by Alexandre Abrivard.

A highly-competitive race here with a number in contention, however it is difficult not to believe in the rejuvenated KOPA D'ARC (10) who races barefoot for the first time. He still faces stiff competition from KAZAN BEACH (6) who had his measure here earlier in the month, and the wonderfully-engaged KOVES DU PONT (16) who will have come on for his recent run despite having been eliminated. 7th that day before coming 5th in the race of reference, KITTS ET NEVIS (9) reverts to a successful formula and will be expected to get back in the game.

Imposed under harness at Divonne-les-Bains before finishing last but one in a harness Gr.1 over course and distance 2.5 weeks ago. Damien Bonne in the saddle and is not to be underestimated. Attention

Winner of his last 3 monte starts, including over course and distance, KIKI AND CO (11) is shod as he was for the most part last winter and will be expected to make this his own. That said, KALINE DU JOUR (10) made short work of her own monte debut here late last month and even though reconfigured, still looks the main threat. KOALA (4) has not been seen out since April but he is competitively-shod for re-entry, with Eric Raffin in the irons, and is hard to ignore. Well-engaged close to the limit of earnings, KRIS MARTIN (12) will be shod to preference and returns to the code with a lot to contribute.
Quality but complicated sort that ran last but one on re-entry in a Class B over track and trip on 14 October, and is going to require another outing

Eliminated in 2 of 3 since his return, most recently a Class C over course and distance on 14 October. Races shod this time and best to hold off

Pleasant but surprising 5th of 15 behind LODESTAR (16) in a Class C under these conditions on 14 October, and a repeat seems most unlikely

Ran 3rd over course and distance before losing his action in a 2450m Caen Class C on 19 October. Has never failed to deliver for Eric Raffin but appears to have a lot more to do this time

Last of 12 behind LE MAC (9) when preparing for this in a Class C over course and distance a month back. Imposed last time over course and distance and is not incapable of repeating

Quality individual that finished 11th of 18 in a 2800m Cordemais Class B conditioner on 5 October. Has decent form with his young driver and if fully-fit can make a big impact

Just failed to secure the hat-trick when 2nd of 15 in a Class C under these conditions on 14 October. Is ideally-engaged and with Mathieu Mottier reining this time will be no shrinking violet. Chance

A serious sort from the Duvaldestin powerhouse, L'AMOUR SUPREME (13) has a pair of runs under his belt since the lengthy layoff, races first-time barefoot, and can get straight down to business. He will however face resistance from the nicely-entered LODESTAR (16) who has been excelling over recent months, and a freshly-barefoot LOUSTIC DE SALOMAX (15) who boasts a good record under these conditions. LORENZO BERRY (10) presents a 75 percent win-rate when barefoot and must be regarded a player.
11th of 14 in a Class C over course and distance a fortnight ago. Sports a new configuration but still not a priority

Showed his form after being eliminated in a 3125m Angers Gr.3 on 1 October. Is arguably the classiest horse here and can win this if applied

Hardy element making first appearance since running 4th of 17 in last November's Prix de Bourgogne. Is not about to shake things up but is worth monitoring all the same

2nd of 12 finishers in a 3125m Angers Gr.3 on 1 October, his first start since March. Will have progressed for the race and should prove main danger to JUSHUA TREE (10)

On course for the Prix d'Amerique before being injured, JUSHUA TREE (10) is undeniably the attraction of the race. He races unshod-behind for the occasion and if sufficiently fit should have this in the bag. IZOARD VEDAQUAIS (12) showed his form on his re-entry at Angers though and will not be disposed of easily. Surprise 2nd in last month's Gr.1 Grand Prix de Wallonie in Mons, JOSH POWER (8) sports modified shoeing and will generate more interest this time around. INO DU LUPIN (6) is enjoying something of a renaissance and will be expected to give this a good go.
