Handy sort with a trio of conditioners under his belt. Is barefoot as he was when easily winning over course and distance in the spring and, with Mathieu Mottier aboard, it would be no surprise to see him get his nose in front

By no means disgraced when 6th of 13 behind LUCIFER DU CAIEU (8) in a Class D over track and trip late last month. Sports a fresh configuration and looks a decent first-5 prospect

Put in quite the showing here on 26 November first time under the saddle. Returns to the venue with morale on a high and Tamara Mathias-Maisonnette can be forgiven for feeling bullish. Chance

Made up for September's blip when 3rd in a 2175m Class D here on 4 November. Trainer could not have hoped for a better entry, and Alexandre Abrivard will be determined to oblige

Well-engaged here, in form, and at home over 2700m, LEADER DE SEVRE (12) has the ideal chance to return to the winners' enclosure. Alexandre Abrivard will still be mindful of LUCIFER DU CAIEU (8) who sprang quite the surprise on his monte debut here late last month. Eliminated on his comeback that day, LUKAS D'OLIVERIE (9) will figure prominently if applied, but may first have to see off LASCAUX DEL PHEDO (5) whose only barefoot start resulted in Class D victory under these conditions.
Encouraging 3rd of 16 in a Mauquenchy Class E 10 days ago. Runs barefoot for return to Vincennes but is being aimed too high

Gave a fine account on comeback at Le Croise-Laroche early last month, coming 3rd in a 2700m Class E. Will have progressed for the race and in similar shape can get in on the action

While not the most performant horse in the field, LESDY MAGODA (14) nonetheless held her own here late last month, is just 25 Euros from elimination, and with Mathieu Mottier in the bike could finally get that maiden monkey off her back. A very different kettle of fish, LA BAULE HAUFOR (3) steps up in category, but has won 4 of the 6 races she has finished, and has a reasonable chance of making her Vincennes bow a winning one. LIBERTE DE L'AUNAY (6) has returned from her break in excellent shape and Eric Raffin has already won with her. LADY VICTORY (7) has not raced over the main track for the past 12 months but she is plainly on the way back up and will be expected to play an active role.
Showed promise at 2 but has failed to make any impact in 2025 and is unlikely to start now

Impressively won a Class D over 2100m of the inner track here on 30 October before putting in a fine finish, despite a poor trip, over 2850m. Is reunited with Eric Raffin and will have this in the bag if she takes to the new profile

Facile winner over 2100m of the short course on her penultimate outing, MALICE DE FRECA (4) is ideally-positioned behind the car this time and can confirm. Eric Raffin will still want to be wary of the similarly well-placed, and progressive, MAYOLA VEDAQUAISE (5) who has taken well to main-track conditions, and MAMOUNIA SEVEN (10) who imposed with ease over the inner track last time out. A fine filly with a good future, MISS DE LA COTE (3) gave a solid account on her first start back and from the 3-spot can again finish close.
Quality mare with a fine Vincennes record but takes on a particularly tough task this time and chances appear limited

Like a horse transformed since the spring, JABALPUR (6) takes his first steps in the Amerique Races after winning the Gr.1 Gran Premio delle Nazioni in Milan early last month, and looks a serious candidate for success. KEEP GOING (7) was most unlucky in the Prix de Bretagne and Mathieu Mottier will be primed to set the record straight. Currently well-backed for the Prix de Cornulier, IT'S A DOLLARMAKER (9) returns to the harness code in top form and with a good hand to play. Criterium des 5 Ans winner KRACK TIME ATOUT (10) was not the luckiest in the Bretagne either, but he nonetheless showed his form and must be respected. Third that day at 36-1, BORUPS VICTORY (18) will be barefoot again and sent out at a more realistic price this time.

JANKO HAUFOR (2) made up for his early-November blip when running out a commanding winner of a 2700m Class D here just over a fortnight ago. He benefits from a front-row start here and may just have the edge over JACOMO BELLO (3) who has not put a foot wrong for months. 25m further back, INDY DARK (10) has never been bested when barefoot over 2850m and should not be hastily-condemned for his latest performance. Not the luckiest that day, HURRICANE CARTER (13) has otherwise been knocking at the door and will be no easy touch.

Multiple Gr.1 winner in his native Italy, GINOSTRABLIGGI (5) routed the opposition in the Gr.2 Prix Pierre Plazen here 3 weeks ago, on his first start for the Philippe Allaire stable. On that occasion, he defeated the hitherto standard-bearer of his generation, MACK DE BLARY (7), who may once again be forced to play second-fiddle. The classy but complicated MAITRE JACQUES (9) was going well when eliminated that day but, with stride in check, can make amends and fill the 3rd spot on the podium. GUGLIELMO JET (8) has frequently come up against Gabriele Gelormini's colt but is still a high-calibre colt; he has previously won here and returns to racing shod.

Had been acquitting herself in good company until flopping behind JORIA MESLOISE (13) in a Class D over track and trip on 24 November. Habitual partner back in the bike and will be expected to make amends

Barring the occasional fault, is hard to ignore. Takes a notable dip in category and will be expected to bring the fight to JALOUZ D'OLIVERIE (15)

Ran 5th in a Class D over track and trip on 24 November, after 2 straight wins, including over course and distance. Unlikely to get her nose in front this time but still has a realistic chance of making the frame

Given ample time to come to hand following a decent layoff, most recently winning a 2100m Class D here 6 days ago, his 5th success with Eric Raffin, and looks set to play another leading role

Well-engaged close to the earnings threshold, JALOUZ D'OLIVERIE (15) romped in a Class D over shorter here last Monday and backs up with a realistic chance of repeating. She will still come under pressure from JORIA MESLOISE (13) who has been holding her own at a superior level lately, and the in-form JOCELYNE (14) who finished a place behind her here a fortnight ago. JUNON DE LOU (12) failed to make her mark on that occasion but has otherwise been in fine shape and the change of driver will do her chances no disservice.
Hindered by a fading horse in a 2850m Class C here 3 weeks ago. Is by some margin the best horse here and if kept out of trouble will have this in the bag

Put a couple of mishaps behind him to come 2nd in a 2850m Class A at Lyon-Parilly 3 weeks ago. Faces a different challenge here though and is unlikely to cause an upset

Serious colt that won his only start at the venue, but has not raced since June and will need the outing

Won 3 of 4 since late-June. Has never delivered at Vincennes but will be barefoot for the first time at the venue and, if applied, should not disappoint

Drops back to a more reasonable level after finishing 9th of 11 behind LE BOLIDE (9) in a Gr.3 here a week ago. Reverts to a previous formula and has the wherewithal to get in on the action

Quality gelding that seldom lets the side down when applied. Eliminated in last 2 but showed his form here 3 weeks ago and on good behaviour can contest the finish

Useful in both codes but arguably better under the saddle. Unraced for 2 months and is unlikely to trouble the judge

Surprising, but convincing, 2nd of 12 in a 2850m Class C here on 17 November. Is not always the most dependable but presents solid Vincennes credentials and can make the frame this time

Imposed at Craon, then Argentan, but was soundly beaten in a Gr.3 here last weekend. Is confirmed at Vincennes though and cannot be entirely ruled out

Ran 2nd at Nantes on comeback prior to coming 4th behind LAMONT DU DOUET (8) in 17 November race of reference. Is decidedly the better of the 2 horses and Franck Nivard will be justifiably hopeful of exacting revenge

A classy campaigner when applied, and twice a winner over course and distance last winter, LEZZO FIGHTER (1) was unlucky not deliver on his first mission of the meeting, but should be able wrap this up if kept out of harm's way. LIQUIDATEUR (6) endured a similar plight that day but has nothing to prove under these conditions and can apply the pressure. LEADER D'AIMTE (10) has not missed a beat since returning from a long layoff and can turn the tables on LAMONT DU DOUET (8) who just had his measure here 3 weeks ago.
No slouch on a good day but disappointing on comeback behind KENYAN BLUES (2) here last weekend, and would have better prospects at a lower level

Stormed up here on 21 November and confirmed just 8 days later. Excels with his jockey and the 3-timer looks distinctly possible

Hardy nordic raider making first appearance in the discipline after giving a fine account at Romme. Benjamin Rochard in the irons but his charge may first need some orientation

Not the most reliable horse in the field but produced a hat-trick here last winter, including victory over 2850m, and will be barefoot for the occasion

Lost his action on re-entry here 2.5 weeks ago. Is plainly the weak link and can be ruled out

Wonderful campaigner in the ridden discipline. Will be shod as he was when prepping for this under harness last month and has a realistic chance of claiming a step on the podium

Takes to the monte code for first time following a pair of harness disappointments. Has fine harness form at this level though and has a particular liking for this distance. Place chance

Serious trotter returning to conditions he appreciates following a spell. Will not need a re-entry run and should logically be in a position to contest the finish

Surprise 3rd of 16 on comeback in a 2700m Class B here a month back. Debuts under the saddle with Alexis Collette aboard and has been freshly reconfigured. First 5

Simply superb with Eric Raffin in the irons, KENYAN BLUES (2) steps up in category, and races for just the 2nd time under these conditions, but he is a well-balanced individual, can adapt and secure the hat-trick. KENTUCKY IDEAL (9) may not have been seen out for over 2 months but he is better-engaged, barefoot, and imposed over course and distance in June. Highly dependable in this branch of the business, KRACK CLEA (7) returns to his code of preference with every expectation of playing a leading role. The good ENOCK (8) debuts under the saddle with Francois Lagadeuc who knows him well, and a surprise is not out of the question.
