Honest colt that gave a good account on re-entry in a 2100m Class C here on 17 December. Will have shaken the cobwebs off him and has a reasonable chance of finishing in first 3 this time

Takes to the main track for the first time after finishing 5th, a place behind NIKY ELDE (2), in a 2100m Class C here on 17 December. Was not far off the mark that day and can repeat

Showed a liking for the main track on 31 December when 2nd in a Class D over course and distance. Eric Raffin in the bike again and will be expecting to bring the fight to NEMOS DU GOUTIER (6)

Made short work of a Class D over track and trip on 4 December. In more exalted company this time but the nature of his recent success augurs well for his chances

Held his own to run 3rd in a 2850m Class A here on Christmas Eve. Is plainly a colt with a bright future and can finally get that maiden monkey off his back

Opened his main-track account in late-November before flopping over the inner course on Christmas Eve, and will need to show marked improvement

Barring his late-November elimination, NEMOS DU GOUTIER (6) has done everything asked of him and drops down the category-ladder with a realistic chance of losing his maiden tag. Damien Bonne will be justifiably wary though of NOT THIS TIME (4) who gave a fine account in a Class D under these conditions just late last month. NOBEL DU LEARD (5) opened his Vincennes account with ease early last month and even though in better company this time, still looks a player.
Left a very good impression when imposing over 2200m here on 9 December. Benefits from a terrific entry and has a reasonable chance of doubling his money

Lost his maiden status at Graignes in November but has twice failed to deliver at Vincennes since and even with hind shoes off is unlikely to spice things up

Placed in 3 straight, including over the short course, before losing all chance at the start of a 2700m Class D here in late-October. Has been afforded time to recalibrate and will be barefoot this time. First 5

Won 3 from 4 before making little impact in a Class C under these conditions in early-October. Is plainly a good future prospect and racing barefoot can make all the difference

Beaten by little over the short course on his Vincennes debut in early-November, MAGIC DE BANVILLE (9) may not have been seen out since but he will be competitively-shod for the first time and can bring home the bacon if Theo Duvaldestin successfully negotiates the start. The better-placed MAGOT D'OR PIYA (1), however, did impose here at the first time of asking, and most certainly has the wherewithal to repeat. Given a rest after failing to deliver here in early-October, MOGALDO DU PARC (6) returns barefoot and is well-placed to give this a good go, as is a freshly-barefoot MYTHIQUE JOSSELYN (5) who lost her maiden tag over the inner track on Christmas Eve.
3rd to EROS ZOLA (8) in Gr.3 Prix de l'Ile d'Oleron in mid-November before running 6th to IMPALA DE VAL (10) in Gr.3 Prix Yvonnick Bodin a fortnight ago. Is back in safer hands and will be expected to put things right. Place chance

Serious element that hardly put a foot wrong under the saddle over past 12 months. Takes on all comers with the same gusto and is certainly good enough to keep the victory-train rolling

On paper, this looks a 2-horse race, with preference just going to IMPALA DE VAL (10) who enjoyed a remarkably productive 2025. That being said, EROS ZOLA (8) just picked up his first Vincennes Gr.2, in terrific fashion, and will be no easy touch. Unplaced in the Gr.2 Prix Yvonnick Bodin, JAZZ IN MONTREUX (1) will be reunited with Pierre-Yves Verva for whom he goes well, and should not disappoint. HANNIBAL TUILERIE (9) always acquits himself well when barefoot here and his Gr.3 Prix Auguste Francois run did not go unnoticed.
Modest individual with no place in this line-up and can be confidently written off

Carefully-prepared this winter but most unlucky in Gr.2 Prix de Bourgogne late last month. Showed her form all the same, will be entrusted to Eric Raffin for the first time, and in this smaller field can impose if kept out of harm's way

Winner of this race in 2025, and subsequently unlucky in the Prix d'Amerique, IROISE DE LA NOE (2) was deserted by Lady Luck once again in the Prix de Bourgogne a fortnight ago. She does, however, excel over 2850m here and has been reconfigured, and the engagement of Eric Raffin speaks volumes. The 7-times champion driver will still want to be wary of the only 5yo in the field, FRANK GIO (9), whose Gr.1 Criterium Continental second place was particularly eye-catching, and IMMORTAL DOC (7) who ran 2nd in the Gr.1 Prix Tenor de Baune on the same day. Two places behind him, on his first objective of the winter, KRACK TIME ATOUT (10) will be barefoot as he was when victorious in the Gr.1 Criterium des 5 Ans in September.
Was particularly sharp during the summer but rather disappointing lately. Has been reconfigured for the occasion and cannot be ruled out

Blows hot and cold but has nothing to prove in this category. Lost ground at the start here 3 weeks ago but benefits from both a terrific draw and entry and looks competitive for a cheque

A tough campaigner that was particularly unlucky in the Gr.2 GNT Final in late-November, IBIZA BELLA (8) is seldom seen over these shorter trips but she does have solid references, starts in front, and has a decent chance to make amends and win this. She will be opposed though by HAMONET DE CHOISEL (2) who imposed from the same draw over course and distance in late-November. IDOLE D'OURVILLE (12) has turned a corner this winter and steps marginally up in category with a good hand to play. Unraced since coming 2nd to Anthony Barrier's horse in late-November, HOCHE (13) has been handed an unattractive number, but presents good references over 2100m here and must be taken seriously.
Has a pair of runs under her belt since the layoff but will need to show considerable improvement on last Monday's effort here

Commanding winner of the Gr.3 Prix de Vaumas here in early-November, MOSTRA DE BANVILLE (8) struggled to make her presence felt in the Gr.2 Prix Guy Deloison 10 days later. She returns fresh and barefoot though, and has previously had the measure of MY LADY CASTELLE (10) who most recently won a Class A here. Justifiably well-regarded Italian filly GLORY WINNER (11) makes her first foray into France after a solid run in Milan and has been entrusted to Eric Raffin for the occasion. Compatriot GIORGIA D'ESI (2) will be reined by fellow-countryman Gabriele Gelormini and merits respect.
Tricky but talented element that has struggled somewhat this term, but is reunited with Alexandre Abrivard who was the last to win with him, and deserves to be retained

Ideally-engaged at the limit of earnings, LOCO FLIGNY (3) imposed at this level in November before prepping here last weekend, and barefoot from the 3-spot looks a major contender. Starting wide on the front line, both LOULOU DES OUBEAUX (8) and LEXINGTON DANICA (9) were most unlucky in Bordeaux on Boxing Day, but will be reined this time by Eric Raffin and Benjamin Rochard respectively, and Marc Sassier's runner sports modified shoeing. Barefoot this time, LE MAESTRO (11) is never the easiest to gauge but is clearly in competition-mode.

Consistently-performant type that just missed out on the hat-trick when 2nd at Angers early last month. Is considerably better than the field and Antoine Wiels will be eager to prove the point once more

Won an amateur event here on 30 December before being eliminated in a 2850m Class D last Monday, and given the entry, she will have a decent chance of putting things right

An absolute dynamo that rarely lets the side down when focused, JADOU DU LUPIN (8) is seldom seen at Vincennes but has acquitted himself well on both occasions, runs barefoot for the occasion, and can make up for just missing out here in October. JOVIAL HAUFOR (7) gave a very good account of himself under these conditions late last month and, with form maintained, should prove the main danger. JAMAICA BROWN (9) blows hot and cold but enjoys a nice entry here and, reconfigured for the race, can get back in the game. JYTRACE DE HOUELLE (4) is plainly back at the top of his own game and steps up in category with a good card to play.
Useful sort that has shown better aptitude in this branch of the business. Takes on some good fillies this time though and has ground to make up on his late-November performance

Got off the mark in a Class E under these conditions on Christmas Day. Takes on a better lot this time but will be fitted with front pads and, with application, can finish thereabouts

Was favourite in a race won by Monaco at Vincennes last time out but Disqualified. Looking to improve on a recent run of 2nd places before that.

Ran 6th behind MAMZELL L'AVENTURE (6) on comeback in a Class D over course and distance on 17 December. Is proven at a superior level, races first-time barefoot, and should not be underestimated

Won over course and distance in December but has looked very ordinary since and will need to get her house in order

Serious future prospect with a liking for the Vincennes profile. Gets to race competitively-shod for the first time and has every chance of making the frame once again

Quality individual that has placed in 2 of 3 monte starts at a similar level. Has yet to disappoint for Eric Raffin and looks thoroughly capable of getting off the mark this time

Plainly talented but has failed to finish either monte race unscathed. Alexandre Abrivard stays faithful in the knowledge that it is just a question of time

Reduced to 7 runners following the withdrawal of MARIO DE LA VALLEE (3), the way looks considerably less-complicated for the progressive MUST DE CHANLECY (7) who races barefoot for the first time. Leading the opposition are a freshly-configured MAMZELL L'AVENTURE (6) who has left us in no doubt about her ridden potential, and the nicely-engaged MISS BLACK BERRY (8) who will be no pushover if she gets off on the right foot.
