Imposed over 2840m in Mons 2.5 weeks ago. Consistently gives his best and although unraced at Vincennes, he gets a top driver for the occasion and must be taken seriously

Has won 3 of 4 this year, most recently a 2525m Cavaillon Class D 2.5 weeks ago. Starts in front and while not the biggest fan of Vincennes, it is hard to ignore his form

Courageous 4th over track and trip before faulting, when on course for a cheque, in a 2700m Class D here last week. Handed an unenviable draw but races barefoot this time and can play a small role if Christophe Martens positions him early

DAYAK (ITY) (5) may not be the most dependable of horses but he is clearly close to his race, goes over any trip, and from the 5-spot can return to the winners' enclosure. He will still come under pressure from the well-positioned CARL HALBAK (3) who left a very good impression on his recent French debut, and NATURAL MINE (6) who returns to Vincennes on a hat-trick. JEU COQUIN (9) has turned a corner this year and has references under these conditions.
Last but one behind KALINE DU LOCHEUR (6) in a Class D over course and distance late last month and can expect to remain friendless in the markets

Raced better on re-entry behind KISS ME AGAIN (5) in a 2100m Class C here 3 weeks ago than his 11th of 16 would suggest. Has no particular liking for Vincennes but his class is evident and must be retained

KISS ME AGAIN (5) showed his liking for these conditions last season and, following a convincing comeback here earlier in the month, he is reunited with Anthony Barrier who can be confident of a big run. Well-engaged at the limit of earnings, KAISER DES GRANGES (14) comes here fresh from a short spell and can make a big impact if he stays in stride. KOQUERY DU BUISSON (2) picked up where he left off, winning over track and trip last month, and simply excels with Eric Raffin. KOQUIN D'AMOUR (11) got back in the winners' circle here a fortnight ago and will be no easy touch.

Winner of both starts since the winter break, LOVELY MILL (12) makes his Vincennes debut on a hat-trick and has a reasonable chance of pulling it off. LANCELOT GRIFF (13) imposed at Laval on his first appearance since moving yards, has been reconfigured for the occasion, and the engagement of Eric Raffin could well see him double up. LOTHBROCK (3) makes just his 3rd start for Paul Hagoort, races first-time barefoot, and Mathieu Mottier will have every reason to be confident. LUX DE LA MESLIERE (5) will have come on for his return run and is thoroughly capable of winning a race of this nature.

Surprisingly sanctioned in the Gr.1 Prix de Vincennes mid-December, LIONHEART (10) set the record straight 3 weeks later with a convincing Gr.3 Prix d'Enghien victory and although unseen in public since, he will have been specifically prepared for this and looks a marginally better bet than LITTLE ORELIE (12) who has been simply superb since, and a reconfigured and fresh LEXIE DE BANVILLE (13) who starts for the first time since winning the Prix de Vincennes. Consistently in the thick of things, LISBONNE DRY (8) put on a good show behind Paul Ploquin in the Gr.2 Prix Louis le Bourg and will again be competitive for a place in the frame.
Failed to confirm Agen victory when sanctioned in a Gr.3 over track and trip on 1 March. Drops marginally in class and Alexandre Abrivard will be determined to set the record straight

Just once out of the first 3 in 10 career starts, LOVER MAN (9) made a fine re-entry at Enghien last Saturday and even though reverting to wearing pads, at this level he will take all the beating. LUMINOSITY (10) will have come on for her comeback run and, barefoot for the first time, can perhaps finally manage to reveal her true potential. Sanctioned here when full of running last time out, LUTIN DE REUX (1) has been afforded time to recalibrate and reverts to racing with front pads. Difficult to knock when focused, LUTIN VENESI (3) has been entrusted to Benjamin Rochard for the first time and is unlikely to disappoint.

Not always the most reliable but a high-class horse nevertheless, KID BELLAY (4) is shod as he was when runner-up to the good Kyt Kat in the Gr.2 Prix Paul Bastard, and can impose for the first time in over 14 months. Eric Raffin will still be wary of KELLY DE BANVILLE (9) who excels under these conditions, and KATINKA AIMEF (5) who was a pleasure to watch here a fortnight back. KYRIELLE (7) put on a very good show in the Gr.2 Prix Henri Levesque here 2 weeks ago and with Alexandre Abrivard aboard for her return to the discipline, can be assured a competitive ride.
Lost her action early in a 2875m Enghien Class D last week. Thrives with her driver, gave a fine account over track and trip 3 weeks ago, and must be afforded respect

Last but one in a 2550m Reims Class E on re-entry earlier this month. Preparing for a monte campaign and can be passed over
Sanctioned when preparing for this over 1900m at Berlin-Mariendorf a month back. Placed under these conditions earlier in the year and from the 5-spot is unlikely to be far from the action

Confirmed her fine form when securing a a 2875m Enghien Class D 8 days ago. Has nothing to prove at this level and is sufficiently well-positioned to confirm

12th of 16 in a 2850m Laval Class F a week ago. Tricky mare but is a tough nut when barefoot and can bring the fight to DADA DEL RONCO (6)

In the frame in 2 of last 3, latterly 3rd of 13 to DADA DEL RONCO (6) in a 2875m Enghien Class D last week. On the back line but form is not in question and will not be going home empty-handed

Unseen since being sanctioned in a Class D over course and distance in December and has nothing going for her here

Is significantly better than her 6th of 13 to DADA DEL RONCO (6) in a 2875m Enghien Class D last week would suggest. Just front shoes off this time, and breaks from back line, but with her mind on the game can play a leading role

Enjoying something of a renaissance since the start of the year, DADA DEL RONCO (6) may never have excelled over 2100m here but in current condition it is hard to see her being bested. Francois Lagadeuc will still be keeping a keen eye on a barefoot ISLAND CASH (7) who starts just to her outside, and good Italian import, DAFNE DI POGGIO (12), who has been reconfigured with every expectation of putting things right. DIABEL (1) returns to racing barefoot following her Enghien conditioner and has never disappointed with Eric Raffin reining.

Good 3rd of 14 in a Class D over track and trip on 22 March. Takes on the boys this time but can still hold her own

Fine trotter with an excellent strike rate and although unseen since coming 5th of 14, a place behind GRAND ROI KALOUMA (10), in a Class C over course and distance on New Year's Day, and races shod, he is not to be underestimated

Looked about to finish strongly before being sanctioned in a Class D under these conditions on 21 March. Has talent in spades and will have his chances if his driver keeps him trotting for all 2850m

Quality trotter that finished 10th of 16 behind GILBERTO (15) in a Class D over course and distance 2 weeks ago. Has form in good company but may just be taking on too much this time

A Class C course-and-distance winner to close out last season, ICARE DE PHYT'S (5) has a pair of runs in him since the break and looks eminently capable of winning this. That said, IQUEM D'AMER (14) has won 7 of his last 8, 3 of them under these very conditions. GRAND ROI KALOUMA (10) has kept the stride police busy recently but his form is sure and Theo Duvaldestin will be eager to put things right, as will Damien Bonne who has been charged with the rehabilitation of INSTANT D'HAUFOR (3). GAROU DU CHENE (2) is on the way back up and has already had his way over track and trip.
