Blows hot and cold but pleasantly surprised in a similar event over 2700m here. Unlikely to pull off the double but should still give an honourable account

Better sort racing clockwise but ability is not in doubt. Makes first appearance since winning at Saint-Galmier and, although without main track references, he is still easy to like

Quality mare at this level of competition. Was full of running last time when sanctioned, but is shod differently this time and can win this if Nicolas Bazire keeps her trotting

FIESTA DU BELVER (15) may not be to everyone's liking but she is dynamic when unshod and focused. Sporting a new configuration for a return to conditions she appreciates, winning this is well within her capacity. That being said, she still faces a tough test against the likes of GILMOUR (10) who left quite the impression here recently, and the consistent GUARDIA (12) who excels under these conditions. ETERNEL AMOUR (3) seldom puts a foot wrong and recent form augurs well for his chances.
Made no impact on her recent monte debut here and, even with hind shoes off this time, still looks outclassed

Complicated she might be but JUNE DE RODREY (9) has turned a corner over recent weeks, latterly won at the first time of asking over track and trip, and is expected to make this her own. Alexandre Abrivard would still be wise to be wary of the capricious but talented JAVA DU LIVIER (5) who gets the opportunity to race barefoot for the first time. JUMACHA (13) got the better of JULIA BONHEUR (4) here last month but it would be no surprise to see Antonin Andre's filly turning the tables.
Useful sort that won at Cabourg before losing her action early on recent Vincennes debut. On the inside line this time though and, if applied, should not disappoint

After qualifying smartly during the summer, Mathieu Mottier waited until last month to debut LONDON (3) and she repaid him with a controlled, professional success and, from the 3-spot, has every chance of repeating. Opposition should logically take the form of the more widely-drawn LIPANGA DE GUEZ (7) who will appreciate the shorter trip. In the frame in her last 3 starts LILI DRY (9) showed great courage here last month and, even starting on the back line, can still figure prominently. LAKARA (4) has yet to lose her maiden status but has more than once come close and, ideally-positioned behind the car, will not be far from the action.
Drops back in category after biting off more than he could chew last time out and, confirmed under these conditions, will be competitive for a spot in the first 5

He is still learning his trade but KING KONG BOY (2) has shown significant talent for the monte code and, after outclassing the opposition here 3 weeks ago, looks eminently capable of repeating. It will not be all plane sailing though considering the progress KROME (13) has made over recent months. KIKI AND CO (8) has taken superbly to his new vocation and will again be competitive for a place in the frame, as will KEL AIR D'EOLE (5) who drops marginally in category after pleasantly surprising over track and trip late last month.
Pleased under these conditions earlier in the year. Has been rather erratic since but won last time when barefoot and can expect to finish in the mix

A very capable filly, JULIA QUESNOT (2) got her Vincennes meeting off to a super start over course and distance ten days ago and, barefoot again, can make the most of the 2-spot and post a second straight victory. She is almost certainly going to cross swords with the less-favourably-drawn JOLIGIRL BEAUFOUR (8) who will nonetheless be dangerous, provided Jean-Michel Bazire keeps her trotting. Winner across town earlier in the autumn, JAKARTA DE CHENU (7) has been specifically prepared for this and, shod to preference, can defy the draw and make a big splash. JOHANNA JOBYNA (12) is forced to break on the back line but, in current form, is very easy to like.
Enjoying something of a renaissance this winter with 3 straight wins, most recently under these conditions, and making it 4-on-the-trot is not beyond his capability

Consistently in the thick of things when focused, ESPACE WINNER (9) has twice come close recently to opening his winter account, latterly behind the hardy GO FOR THE GOLD (7) and, if applied from one end to the other, should logically set the record straight. GALA D'URFIST (1) comes here on a 4-timer though and backs up just 4 days after dominating a good field over course and distance. Already very capable under harness, GALET STED (12) has demonstrated a particular flair for the game and is not incapable of returning home unbeaten.

A good future prospect, KISS ME HONEY (15) has done everything asked of her so far, appreciates Vincennes, and if as sharp as she was a fortnight ago, should have this in the bag. She will still face considerable opposition from the progressive KALINKA SOMOLLI (13) who latterly flew up over the short course, as did KAROLINE CALINE (8) who is entrusted to Mathieu Mottier for the first time. KLASSE DE BRUZEAU (9) is a complicated individual but she has been showing promise lately and is not to be underestimated.

An excellent servant when barefoot, HEMA DU BOIS MORIN (13) was very unlucky when going down by the smallest of margins to HARIA DU BELLAY (15) here earlier in the month, but can turn the tables if Robin Lamy keeps her out of trouble. A harness winner here last winter, HISTORIA KAT (10) returns barefoot to the discipline, in excellent shape, and can make the frame if form transitions. Twice bridesmaid in two of her last three starts here, HACIENDA (14) is not going to be far from the action.
