Came last of 7 in a 2500m Reims Class E earlier this month when showing a bit too much spirit. Mathieu Mottier in charge this time and will endeavour to make good on his charge’s Gournay-en-Bray success

In the thick of things for the most part, most recently 3rd of 16 in a 2825m Sable-sur-Sarthe Class F late last month. Is well-in on the front line and unlikely to return home empty-handed

Looked ordinary before being sanctioned in a 2700m Class D at Le Croise-Laroche on 22 May. Has otherwise been in fine form, is shod this time with Eric Raffin reining, and can start to set the record straight

Last of 15 when being conditioned in a 2725m Lisieux Class E a week ago. Is no slouch when barefoot and, although not a priority, is still worth monitoring

Made up for his mediocre Morlaix run with 3rd of 11 in a 2200m Caen Class E 2 weeks ago, but takes on a better bunch this time and, drawn wide, is not an obvious choice

Very effective over these shorter trips, JETLAG DE BEAUFOUR (2) faces his first real objective following a long hiatus, races barefoot for the first time, and from the 2-spot can return to winning ways. It is unlikely to be all plane sailing though considering how JOLVIK DE GUEZ (6) has taken to racing without hind shoes. JEAN D'HOLLENBOURG (14) has not been quite as fortunate with the draw but was spectacular at Chartres earlier in the month and Marius Coignard will be eager to repeat. Eric Raffin partners a shod JACKSON HILL (5) for the occasion who will be in the mix at the finish if he stays in stride.
Tricky character but has bags of ability, most recently 5th to FEE LUCERNAISE (10) in a 2100m Class C here mid-May. Has never failed to fire under these conditions and will not be far from the action

Drops marginally in category after coming 5th of 15, after faulting in the stretch, in a 2150m Enghien Class B 3 weeks ago. Unlikely to impose but can still figure prominently at the business end of the race

After a much-needed conditioner at Caen, HARMONISTA (7) got straight down to business in a similar event here 3 weeks ago and is eminently capable of repeating. Franck Nivard will still be wary of the recently-returned, and barefoot, GHOSTBUSTER (11) who placed in a competitive Gr.3 late-January, and GREAT OF MADRIK (5) who held his own in a Laval GNT Gr.3 last week. HARLEY GEMA (9) returns to conditions she appreciates and should logically make up for her Vichy blunder.
Was on a fine run of form before coming 13th behind PICTURE PERFECT (5) in a 2700m Class D here a month ago. Reverts to a previous formula and is not going to be too far from the action

JENTIL DIESCHOOT (7) has been in flying form this year, is reunited with Eric Raffin who won with him last month, and has a fine opportunity to impose for the first time racing left-handed. Third to him at Vichy before faulting at Nancy, JEU MAJYC (6) has yet to be tested over 2100m here but will be fully fit and, from the front line must be considered a priority. JALMAROSA (9) is forced to start wide but has shown a liking for the main track and, in current form, is very hard to ignore. Confirmed under these conditions and first time barefoot, the well-positioned JUNON DE LOU (2) will be expected to play an active role.
Kicked the year off superbly and has come close under similar conditions this term. Solid 5th of 14 in a 2800m Vichy Class D 11 days ago and is thoroughly capable of making first 5

As versatile and as dependable as they come, HARRY COHIAIS (6) can boast solid Vincennes credentials; he starts on the front line and the in-form Benjamin Rochard will be out to turn the tables on the hardy HABIT DE SOIREE (2) who had his measure here 3 weeks ago. Never one to be underestimated when barefoot, HASARD D'ERABLE (7) returned to the winners circle at Laval last time, beating Eric Raffins charge, and will not be available at 74/1 this time around. Some navigation will be required for HOCHE (13) but he will have come on for his recent re-entry and should figure prominently.
Back in the code after being sanctioned early in a harness Class D over course and distance a week ago. Has done nothing of note under the saddle since December 2021 and and can be confidently disregarded

An absolute dynamo under the saddle, IN LOVE DU CHOQUEL (5) returns to Vincennes on a 4-timer, his last 2 wins achieved over course and distance, and will take all the beating. Francois Lagadeuc would be wise to keep an eye on the classy I CAN DREAM (4) who is shod to preference as she bids to make up for her April disappointment under these conditions. Seldom far from the action when focused, the well-regarded INSHORE (3) returns to his code of preference, sporting his preferred configuration, after warming up under harness, and with application can go far. Good third in Stockholm late last month, Charles-Antoine Mary sends out GALET STED (9) with a new shoeing formula and, with form maintained, will be no easy touch.

9th of 13 finishers, on comeback, in a 2850m Laval Class C 9 days ago. Excels for his driver though, who will be loathe to pass up such a good opportunity

KAMARAN MADRIK (9) may be a handful but his ability is not in question and the nature of his recent course-and-distance victory augurs well for his chances of securing the double. That said, KANEM (14) is enjoying something of a resurgence and will be no pushover. KOQUERY DU BUISSON (8) is barefoot as he was when victorious here in April and looks set to put things right. Well-engaged at the limit of earnings, KOALA BLUE (16) has a race under his belt and, twice a winner for Alexandre Abrivard, races unshod behind for the first time and will be dangerous if he stays in stride.
Kicked the year off well but has since lost her way, sanctioned on Tuesday in a 2850m Vincennes Class D, and can be confidently ruled out

No superstar but can trot, latterly 6th of 10 in a 2175m Class C here a week ago and, while unlikely to surprise, should still give an honest account

Ran 2nd to KOMEDIE SOMOLLI (10) here mid-May before failing to confirm in a Class D over 2850m here on Tuesday. Franck Blandin backs her up though with a reasonable expectation of making first 5

Regularly object of the stewards’ scrutiny but reassured somewhat when 4th of 7 finishers in a Class D over track and trip last week but, in this company, will have too much to do

Returned to winning ways on 10 May in a 2750m Class D at La Capelle. Is unbeaten in 2 starts racing padded-all-4 and must be considered a respectable place chance

Lost her action in a 2100m Class D here on 10 May. Sports a new configuration, with Eric Raffin drafted in for the occasion, and will have her chances if she gets off on the right foot

Took little time getting back in shape, latterly 3rd of 11 finishers in a 3000m Nantes Class D on 3 June and, unshod-all-4 this time, should be capable of trotting her way onto the podium

Got back in the game with a tenacious Class D course-and-distance victory a month ago. Has had time to freshen up and will be competitive for a place in the frame, provided Benjamin Rochard keeps her trotting

Won over track and trip last December but subsequently went off the boil. 11th of 13 on re-entry in a 2850m Laval Class C last week and will need another run

Impressive at 3, KIWA BLEUE (5) trotted 5th in a decent bunch last month when still not at peak fitness, but it is clear she is back on track and winning this would be no surprise. Victorious for Alexandre Abrivard last autumn, KADIJA MESLOISE (8) is never far from losing her action but with Eric Raffin in the sulky this time, she will be no soft touch. KOSMOPOLITAINE (9) won over course and distance earlier in the year, is enjoying decent form and, barefoot this time, looks a player. KOMEDIE SOMOLLI (10) put a quartet of disappointments behind her when clinching victory under similar conditions last time out and, with application, can again figure prominently.
5th of 16 in a claimer over course and distance 10 days ago. Not ideally-drawn on the inside but is good enough to pick up some crumbs

Should not be too hastily judged for his recent 11th of 12 in a 2150m Vichy Class E earlier in the month. Seldom lets the side down in this division and is well-placed to finish close

Unplaced in 2 since returning to competition, latterly 8th of 11 finishers in a 3125m Ranes Class F on Sunday. Hind shoes off this time but others still easier to back

Last but one in a 2400m Montauban Class D on 20 May. Is not without merit in this category but still represents no more than a minor place prospect

Very hard to knock at present, most recently 5th of 15 in a 3025m Class H at Montlucon on 2 June. Unlikely to spring any surprises but is shod as he was at Graignes and can make first 5

Simply remarkable in the amateur division, HEMILIO PIERJI (14) thrives over 2100m and even though handed a tough draw is still good enough to pull off the 5-timer. ILARIA KILY (11) is similarly on the back line but has won 2 of her last 4 and returns to the capital with a good hand to play. GALOPIN DE BIANCA (2) did not enjoy the best of trips last time out but is plainly in very good shape and makes his Vincennes debut well-placed behind the car, with front pads fitted and with legitimate ambition. FASHION DE VAL (6) went briefly off the boil but reassured at Vire 3 weeks ago and the decent draw will do her chances no disservice.
