Got off the mark over the inner course on 12 December but failed to confirm when eliminated on 20 January. Is not easy to use but can play a part if Jean-Yann Ricart keeps him focused

Won over course and distance in November and most recently came 3rd, a place behind MACAREUX DU TRIEUX (4), in a 2200m Class D here on 6 January. Has too much ground to make up though

Ran close 2nd in a 2200m Class D on his ridden debut here on 6 January. Will have progressed for the run, will be competitively-shod for the first time, and must be taken seriously

Should not be condemned for faulting here on 19 December. Has had ample time to get straightened out and, with application, can bring the fight to MARLEY DE BAILLE (6)

Serious future prospect that was throughly professional when scoring on monte debut here on 20 January. Will be unfazed by the shorter distance and has an obvious claim on the race

Has demonstrated good aptitude for the monte code but took on too much in a Class B 2 weeks ago. Is confirmed over 2175m here and in this company has a reasonable chance of finishing in the mix

Switches code for first time after 3 solid runs in the claiming division under harness, but will still have few takers

After having shown potential under harness, MARLEY DE BAILLE (6) got straight down to business on his monte debut here recently and even over this shorter trip should have the measure of the field. Mathieu Mottier will still be keeping a watchful eye on the promising MARIO DE LA VALLEE (5) who will be expected to bounce back from December's elimination, and a freshly-reconfigured MACAREUX DU TRIEUX (4) who put in a very good show on his monte debut a month ago.
Showed early promise but has shown her limits over recent months, and can be ruled out

Yet to get off the mark, and can prove a handful, but came good 3rd in a Class A over track and trip 3 weeks ago. 4 pads fitted this time and should not be far off the mark if applied

Got back in the winners' circle late last month when securing a 2200m Class C. Trainer in the bike this time but may just be taking on too much

Back at a less-exalted level after failing to deliver in the Gr.2 Prix Une de Mai here in mid-December, NO LIMIT DELO (4) will be fitted with pads for the first time and can return to successful ways if Benjamin Rochard assures her initial strides. NO WORRY (9) was unlucky not to finish closer here last month and, particularly well-engaged this time, David Thomain will be keen to put things right. Beaten only by a very good horse here in early-January, NONEKA (8) sports 4 pads on this occasion and looks competitively well in. NOIRE INTENSE (7) finished just behind her here last time and, with hind pads fitted, must be afforded respect.
Looked rather ordinary when dead-heating with MENTHE FRAICHE (9) for 7th in a 2175m Class D here 3 weeks ago. Is barefoot again but still not an obvious choice

Progressive filly that came close to pulling off the 5-timer in late-December. May just be better-suited to this shorter trip and victory is well within her reach

Has a number of reasons for finishing last in a 2700m Class D here in early-January. Has had a month to recalibrate and, while unlikely to win this, still has the wherewithal to make the frame

Occasionally a handful but ran pleasant 5th behind MY DARLING HAUFOR (5) in a Class D over course and distance on 13 January. Is not about to cause an upset but will be similarly-shod and should give another honourable account

Winner of 4 in a row before missing out by little on her Vincennes debut on Christmas Eve, MARLEY (2) makes just her 2nd appearance over 2100m but starts in front and can impose this time. MY DARLING HAUFOR (5) put on a fine show here last month, sports modified shoeing, and looks better than most here. Already a winner under these conditions, MILKA DES THUYAS (7) can be forgiven her recent blip and represents a decent place chance. MENTHE FRAICHE (9) is forced to start wide but she benefits from terrific entry and will be first-time barefoot.
4th behind JINGLE DU PONT (7) in a Class A over course and distance in early-January before running out of luck in Cagnes 2.5 weeks ago. Is plainly in shape, sports modified shoeing, and with application can figure prominently

Serious trotter with Gr.1 form. Missed out on 3rd place in Gr.3 Prix du Luxembourg over course and distance a fortnight back. Enjoys a better draw this time and has a realistic chance of getting his head in front

Made up somewhat for early Gr.1 Prix Tenor de Baune elimination when flying up in a Gr.3 over track and trip 2 weeks ago. Forced to break wide on back line but has buckets of class and should not be underestimated

A fine servant with nothing to prove in this grade of race, WORKING CLASS HERO (2) gave an excellent account of himself in the Gr.3 Prix du Luxembourg a fortnight ago and from the 2-spot is easy to fancy. Courageous 7th that day despite quickly losing all chance, JINGLE DU PONT (7) benefits from a front-row start and will be barefoot this time. JAZZMAN (GER) (16) has pulled a rough number but the nature of his recent Gr.3 Prix Jean Rene Gougeon victory nevertheless augurs well for his chances. Better-positioned behind the car, Luxembourg 5th place, JANGO VICI (5), reverts to his preferred formula and Benjamin Rochard will be back in the bike. IDEAL DU ROCHER (6) held his own in the Gr.3 Prix du Forez a month back and can put his speed to good use.
Surprise winner of a Class E over track and trip in mid-January before blowing up in a Class D 11 days later, and is clearly taking on too much

Twice a winner over course and distance this winter, LAVALO BELLO (9) steps up in category as he bids for the hat-trick and looks thoroughly capable of pulling it off. Benjamin Rochard will still want to be wary though of the Duvaldestin's barefoot LE TOUQUET (11) who is as talented as he is complicated, and LOYAL DU CHOQUEL (4) who should not be condemned for being eliminated on his comeback run. LET IT SNOW (3) has been knocking at the door this winter and looks primed to pick up another cheque.
Never far from faulting but has ample ability. Returns to racing shod after stumbling in Gr.1 Prix Ourasi, and if there is a surprise to be sprung, this is the horse to spring it

Most impressive 3rd in the Gr.1 Prix Ready Cash in early-December, MAITRE JACQUES (7) gets to race competitively-shod for the first time and can win this if Alexandre Abrivard keeps him trotting. He will still be expecting to encounter significant resistance from the classy MAGIC NIGHT (8) who ran close 3rd in the Gr.1 Prix Ourasi a fortnight ago. A place behind her that day, after having run 2nd in the Gr.2 Prix Charles Tiercelin, MADRID HAUFOR (9) breaks wide but can still make the frame, as can Philippe Allaire's second runner, MONZON NORMAND (5), who races barefoot for the first time.

Twice a winner in both starts over 2700m recently, LALUNA DES FORGES (8) imposed with authority 3 weeks ago and even in the absence of Paul Ploquin, can continue the trend. Second and third respectively that day, LADY DADA (9) goes barefoot again, as does the reinvigorated LILI DRY (7), however these 2 may first have to see off the progressive LOUISA D'ATOUT (5) who was eliminated when going well here early last month.

Has done battle with JUST FOR BACK (10) in last 2 starts, coming off better in one. Was not far off him in Gr.2 Prix Jacques Andrieu late last month and should prove competitive when it matters

Produced a pair of good efforts before being trounced in Gr.1 Prix de Cornulier 3 weeks ago. Is in less-elevated company this time and, while not a priority, should not be ruled out either

Fine element that produced his career-best performance when runner-up in Gr.2 Prix Jacques Andrieu here 2 weeks ago. Damien Bonne in the irons this time and can challenge for the win if he keeps his charge focused

Useful sort that ran 5th behind JUST FOR BACK (10) in 2850m Gr.2 Prix Jacques Andrieu here 2 weeks ago. Has a particular liking for these conditions and seldom disappoints for Tamara Mathias-Maisonnette

As consistent as they come, and close 2nd in a harness Class D on his French debut here in mid-January, TURE L.A. (3) debuts under the saddle, with Mathieu Mottier reining, and looks eminently capable of getting straight down to business. Twice a bridesmaid here recently, lastly in the Gr.2 Prix Jacques Andrieu, JUST FOR BACK (10) is well-entered and easy to fancy. JE REVE DU BOIS (8) ran 4th behind him that day after having had his measure 3 weeks earlier, and looks competitive once again. Unbeaten in 7 straight barefoot monte starts, JACARANDA (2) faces a tougher task on his return to competition, but is as tenacious as they get and must be duly respected.
Never the easiest to gauge but has ample ability. Prepped shod here last month but is in competition-mode this time, and has every chance of getting back in the game

Has been in excellent form over recent months. Prepped honourably at Angers but is back under conditions he appreciates and has a realistic chance of imposing

Handy sort starting for first time since late-November. Ideally-drawn but will be fitted with shoes and best to hold off

Unraced since winning a Class E at Beaumont-de-Lomagne in late-November. Is shod for comeback and others easier to back

Given an easy comeback run here in mid-January. Will have progressed for the race, and from the 5-spot looks competitive for the win

Surprisingly lacklustre 5th in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E late last month. Presents respectable Vincennes credentials but represents a minor place chance at best

Ran courageous 3rd in a 2850m Class D over the inner course on 19 January. Is seldom seen over these shorter trips but is proven and, despite the wide draw, must not be overlooked

Consistently-performant type that has been knocking at the door lately. Breaks wide, and is unlikely to impose, but can nevertheless trot his way into the money

Eliminated early in a 2850m Class D here on 19 January, but showed his form nevertheless. Thibaut Dromigny would have preferred a better draw but in current condition is still very easy to like

Below-par 7th of 13 in a Cagnes Class D on 11 January. Has never excelled over the Vincennes main track and is not about to start now

Reassuring winner of a Class E over course and distance on 27 January. On back line this time and, in this company, cannot be considered a contender

Won at Le Mans in December then followed that up with victory at Graignes on 11 January. Is reunited with David Thomain but has been poorly-drawn and is unlikely to spring any surprises

Unthreatening but encouraging on his first start for 2 months, KENNEDY FRANCE (5) flew up the last time under these conditions and, at this level, can open his 2026 account. KELLER DE L'ITON (2) has done nothing but improve with every run here and, from the 2-spot, represents the main danger. Much improved in his last 2 starts, even though eliminated last time, KOOL DU CHATELET (10) has been handed a tough draw but sports a fresh configuration and, on good behaviour, can trot his way onto the podium. Barefoot following his conditioner here early last month, KING D'HERMES (1) will be barefoot this time and is unlikely to disappoint.
