Has not been seen out since failing to deliver under the saddle here 2 months ago. Has little love for these conditions and even with Eric Raffin in the bike, looks an outsider

Would have finished better than 5th, a place behind FOREVER D'ARIANE (8), in a 2700m Class D here on 27 December, had he been afforded a better trip. Subsequently ran 3rd at Agen, is barefoot this time, and must be respected

Has hardly put a foot wrong since the autumn, most recently running good 2nd in a Nantes Class E late last month. Is unlikely to create an upset but can still vie for a spot in first 5

Raced little last year, with no results under harness. Is new to 2850m here and would arguably have better prospects in the other code

Pleasant on re-entry at Cagnes-sur-Mer earlier this month following a short spell. Will be barefoot, with Alexis Collette in the bike this time, and cannot be discounted

Not always the most reliable but gave a fine account under similar conditions in the autumn, and enjoys a terrific entry here. Has a race under her belt and, reunited with Gabriele Gelormini, can get straight down to business

Capricious but has ample ability and caught the eye last time out. In the frame in all 3 runs with his driver and Charles-Antoine Mary could not have wished for a better entry

Easy to like when barefoot and focused, GALINETTE BLEUE (14) faces her first objective of the new year and given how well she comported herself in a similar race last time here, it would be no surprise to see her win this. Even better-engaged, GOELAND DE JANZE (16) is not easy to handle but he left a very good impression here mid-January and, with application, can play a leading role. Nicely in here, GUESS FOUTEAU (15) ran 2nd last time under these conditions, is barefoot for the occasion, and Franck Nivard will be back in the bike. GALEO D'AMARO (4) makes his first start for the able Pierre-Louis Desaunette and, with Mathieu Mottier reining, can make a big splash. GOODMORNING CHARLY (6) returns to Paris after having reassured at Agen and is unlikely to be heading back to the southwest empty-handed.
Is confirmed over main track in the other code but, in this company, seems to be taking on too much, barefoot or not

She is still a bit green but MOONSTAR JYL (5) ran rings around the opposition here early this month and, on good behaviour, can confirm. MEGAFLECHE (9) has similarly shown a lot of promise and, after reassuring at Nantes, will endeavour to make up for last month's elimination here. MAIWENN D'AVEL (11) gave a very good account on her main-track bow earlier in the month and will be more competitively-shod this time around. MALINE DES ARRIS (12) put on quite the show here recently and, with application, is unlikely to be far from the action.
Sprang a 65-1 surprise when 2nd in an incident-filled Argentan Class F a fortnight ago, and confirmation is most improbable

The phrase 'all-or-nothing' could well have been coined for the likes of KAMELIYA (6) who is an absolute cracker when focused. She races with pads for the occasion, has won 3 times with Eric Raffin, and with application can make it 4. ESEDOMANI (7) gave a fine account here in mid-January and returns to Paris with hind shoes off and Gabriele Gelormini in the bike. Quality German mare, NAIKEY (2), left a good impression over the short course a month ago and will be no easy touch if she copes with the main track profile. KIM DE BEAUM (8) has not won since November 2023 but she has shown a return to form and warrants respect.
Qualified in 1.19.9 at Caen on 21 October. Sports front pads first time out but still not an obvious choice

Solid in qualification last summer, NOCTURNUS AVIS (4) ran out an easy winner on debut earlier in the month and with Yoann Lebourgeois back in the bike will be given every chance of repeating. He will be justifiably mindful though of the returning, but promising, NIMITZ D'HERIPRE (8) who has been entrusted to Mathieu Mottier for his Vincennes bow, and a reconfigured NEMROD BUROIS (7) who was unable to express himself here 3 weeks ago. Stylish winner at Nantes when losing his maiden tag, NORBERT DE GACHERE (5) takes the logical next step and will be entrusted to Anthony Barrier.
Returns to Paris following a modest return run at Maure-de-Bretagne earlier in the month. Barefoot this time but still not a concern

Rather complicated but is no slouch when focused. Somewhat unlucky in a Class C here 2.5 weeks ago but is reunited with Matthieu Abrivard, for whom he has never failed to fire, and is worth keeping an eye on

Solid in both codes recently, LENNON D'HERFRAIE (9) was very unlucky not to be afforded a run here last month, but showed his form nevertheless, and can win this if Mathieu Mottier keeps him out of trouble. LET IT SNOW (2) has been knocking at the door all winter and it will not be long before he gets his nose back in front. LOYAL DU CHOQUEL (10) beat him 12 days ago when opening his Vincennes account and will need to be taken more seriously this time. LEZZO FIGHTER (7) is significantly better than recent results would suggest, is reconfigured for the occasion, and it is only a question of time before he comes good again.
Got the year off to a good start when 2nd in a Mauquenchy Class F just under a month ago. Appears to have recuperated well from her long absence and looks capable of making first 5

A fine campaigner with an enviable strike-rate, JONGLEUSE DE BRY (14) returns to the capital after dominating a Cagnes Class E last month and, in similar form, has every chance of repeating. Winner under the saddle in late-December, JULIANA BREIL (9) will be reunited with Eric Raffin, with whom she thrives, and can again contest the finish. JOSY DES LANDES (10) has earned the right to race here after winning a pair in the provinces and will sport a new formula for the occasion. JAHINA VITA (13) has never disappointed in the day's configuration and should logically put her recent performance behind her.

Earnings seem to carry considerable weight in this affair. In the case of LOVE AND SUN (13), he is most certainly behind in earnings, boasts serious monte aptitude, and will be competitively-shod for his first objective for some time. Alexandre Abrivard will still be wary of the tricky but talented, and returning, LUIGI D'ISIGNY (14) who is only 220 Euros from elimination, and the the justifiably well-regarded, and barefoot, LITTLELOU MATIDY (12) who defied her odds here late last month. A place behind her that day, ONANA BOKO (5) may just have discovered his new vocation.

Good class of filly that has not once tasted defeat over the main track, and was particularly impressive over 2700m earlier in the month. Is head and shoulders better than the field and will be expected to prove the point
Useful colt starting for the first time since early-November but is likely to be a race shy

Got off the mark in a 2175m Class C here last week, on first barefoot outing. Shoes off again and although unlikely to confirm, can nevertheless play a small role

No slouch on a good day but is not the easiest of horses to use and even with hind shoes off this time, still seems to have too much to find

Sent for a spell after being eliminated in a Gr.3 here in late-November. Is competitively-shod for re-entry though and, already a winner here, can play a prominent role

Showed considerable talent last season and has demonstrated decent speed. Is barefoot for first start since last August but is still going to need the run

Serious filly stepping up in category after running 2nd in a Class B under these conditions a month ago. Steps up in category, and starts on the back row, but cannot be discounted

Well-regarded at home but has failed to deliver so far this term and even though reconfigured, will struggle to make her mark

Ran 3rd in a Cagnes Class B before coming 4th in a 2700m Class A here on 25 January. Takes on the boys this time though and is unlikely to spice things up

Made no impact whatsoever in a 2700m Class A here on 25 January and will need to show marked improvement

Undefeated in 3 Vincennes appearances, MELIA BARBES (5) encountered little resistance in a Class B here earlier in the month and is ideally-positioned to extend her unbeaten streak. David Thomain will still be keeping a keen eye on the complicated but talented MOHAWK (3) who easily dominated a Class B here a month ago, and MILAN (4) who will be first-time barefoot following his late-December comeback run. Four times a winner last season, all with Eric Raffin, MOONWALK D'HERIPRE (9) has been configured for the occasion and, despite the draw, still looks competitive for a cheque.
