Vincennes 28 November 2025

Capable on a good day but has never produced the goods at Vincennes and is unlikely to start now

Made short work of a Class E under these conditions on 8 November. Excels in current configuration and will be no soft touch

Steps back up in category after finishing runner-up in a Class D over track and trip 11 days ago, on first start for 2 months. Benefits from a Mathieu Mottier drive and can expect significant support. Claim

Produced a trio of good performances before being eliminated in a Class C conditioner on 4 November. With shoes off this time though must be considered a viable contender

Delicate but capable mare that encouraged when 6th here earlier in the month. Won here in this configuration earlier in the year, and with application could pleasantly surprise

Missed out by little here on 21 September before faulting early under similar conditions 2 weeks later, but with application could well throw a spanner in the works. Chance

Gave a surprisingly good account to run 5th of 13 in a 2100m Class C here a week ago. Eric Raffin in the bike this time but still not a contender

Won a Class D over 2850m in October before prepping at Laval early this month. Returns to racing barefoot and although not a priority is still worth keeping an eye on

Gave a good account, on first goal of the winter, when 4th in a Class C over course and distance on 4 November. Will have progressed for the race and should again figure prominently

Complicated but serious mare starting for first time since July. Remains shod for comeback and best to keep one's powder dry

Produced a pair of honest efforts before disappointing in a 2100m Class C here last week, and is not about to shake things up

Not without merit but tends to prefer a more even surface and is not about to spring any surprises

Placed twice going right-handed before running 5th behind L'AS DE SAINT JEAN (7) over 2175m here on 21 October. Takes on an even better lot and can be passed over

Excellent servant that ran 2nd to LOYAL DU CHOQUEL (3) under these conditions earlier in the month. Goes particularly well for Benjamin Rochard and should again figure prominently

Returns from the provinces where he placed twice at Nantes. Is barefoot for the first time this season and can pick up some prizemoney if he stays in stride

Surprise 4th of 18 in a 2700m Class D here 10 days ago. Takes on a better lot this time but should still not be written off

Would have finished in the money here mid-month had he not faulted in a 2100m Class D. Has otherwise been hard to knock when barefoot and David Thomain will be eager to put things right

Fine 2nd on re-entry over 2700m then confirmed on 21 October in a 2175m Class D. Is plainly close to his race and is in with a realistic shout of getting his nose in front

Quality colt with a liking for Vincennes but has not been seen out since February and will be race-rusty

Classy element that outclassed the opposition in a Class E over course and distance 2 weeks ago. Is confirmed at this level and in current condition will be justifiably well-supported. Claim

Not as sharp as he was when victorious over 2700m here in September, and would be preferred barefoot

It took some time but opened his 2025 account when successful in a 2100m Class E here on 3 November. Yoann Lebourgeois keeps the drive and, considering the entry, will be no easy touch

Won a 2150m Enghien Class D like a good thing in mid-October, his first success for 16 months. Trainer back in the bike and will be confident of confirming Francois Lagadeuc's good work

Imposed at Enghien in early-October but has twice failed to deliver here since. Sports 4 pads for the first time though and will be worth keeping an eye on

Undeniably capable and is confirmed under these conditions, but is not yet in competition-mode and can be passed over

Good servant making first appearance since running 2nd in a Class D here last April and is going to need the outing

Quality filly with a pair of conditioners in her following the long layoff. Is confirmed over 2850m here and can get straight back down to business. Claim

Close 2nd over 2175m here on 21 October before missing the start at Chatelaillon on 9 November. Has evident ability though and will have her chances if Benjamin Rochard gets her off on the right foot

Showed promise here last winter but has looked very ordinary since. Sports modified shoeing but still has nothing to contribute

Showed significant potential here last winter. Has been specifically prepared for this and racing barefoot may be just the ticket

Classy filly with nothing to prove in this category, but is still being conditioned and best to wait

Came good in a 2100m Class E here early this month. Takes a step up in category and is unlikely to repeat, but can nevertheless finish in the mix once more

Vincennes debutante with good references racing right-handed in the provinces. Is not an obvious choice but should not be far from the action if she takes to the new conditions

Runner-up in last 2 barefoot starts, latterly a 2700m Class D 3 weeks ago. Is unlikely to lose her maiden status this time but can still trot her way onto the podium

Placed here in early-September but has progressively worsened. Has been entrusted to Yoann Lebourgeois for the first time but others still easier to back

Back under harness after blowing up under the saddle here early this month. Reliability not her strong suit but will be barefoot for her first objective of the meeting and must not be underestimated

Very hard to knock in any of his 3 shod return runs, even imposing at Toulouse. Has yet to disappoint under these conditions and is unlikely to begin now. First 5

Hardy element that has yet to win at Vincennes but consistently gives his best. Goes nicely for Eric Raffin and is well-placed to give this a good go. Place chance

Honest individual but has never produced red the goods at Vincennes. Is plainly in fine shape but is taking on too much this time

Consistent type that imposed under the saddle at Saint-Omer before coming 4th in an Enghien Class D a month ago. Nicely-positioned on front line but looks more a minor place chance at best this time

Opened his French account in good order mid-October, comfortably winning a 2725m Cabourg Class D. Paul Ploquin stays faithful and from the 5-spot will have a legitimate claim on the spoils

Quality Swedish raider with nothing to prove over 2100m. Raced better here a fortnight ago than the result would suggest, and the draw will only enhance his already good prospects. Claim

Dependably performant element that thrives over course and distance. Benefits from a front-row draw, will be fully fit, and will be expected to finish in the mix once more

Failed to confirm Graignes performance when eliminated at Auch 2.5 weeks ago. Has yet to show any aptitude for racing barefoot and is unlikely to create an upset

Serious sort that went into his break after securing the hat-trick. Is in conditioning-mode this time and best to hold off

Modest sort that has picked up this term where he left off in the spring and can be confidently ruled out

Complicated sort that was going well when eliminated in a Class C over course and distance 2 weeks ago. Has evident ability, will have Franck Nivard in the bike this time, and the draw may just work to his advantage

Useful Swedish import making first appearance for 2 months. Is barefoot for French debut, with Matthieu Abrivard reining, but probably best to keep one's powder dry on this occasion

Handy transalpine trotter returning to a racecourse he has yet to show any particular liking for and even racing barefoot can expect to have few friends

Quality individual with solid references in both Sweden and Finland. Prepped for this under the saddle and even though handed a tough draw, will have front shoes off and will be worth monitoring

Out of the picture in last 3 starts, most recently 10th of 14 in a 2850m Class D here in mid-October, and has no possible chance

Unexceptional filly that has yet to show any particular flair for the game and is not about to change her ways

Blows hot and cold but is not short of ability. Has already delivered for her driver and over this shorter trip should not be underestimated

Unable to replicate good Bordeaux performance when disappointing 5th of 9 at Caen mid-month, and appears to have little to offer under these conditions

Eye-catching in a 2700m Class E here 8 days ago after being eliminated early. David Thomain keeps the faith and will be intent on setting the record straight

Useful sort that ran 2nd of 12 in a Class F at La Capelle on comeback 2.5 weeks ago. Comes to Vincennes with morale intact and although not a priority should nevertheless hold her own

Is considerably better than recent numbers would suggest. Showed marked improvement at Laval and can figure prominently if Damien Bonne manages to keep her focused

Beautifully-bred and patently a filly for the future. Will have been prepared for this and if fully fit can make this her own

Showed improvement when 5th of 13 in a 2700m Class E here last week, however a repeat seems most improbable

Good 2nd on re-entry at Strasbourg but never dangerous when eliminated at Reims, and will have nothing to contribute

Pleasant 3rd of 13 on comeback at Amiens 2 weeks ago. Has no left-handed references though and others easier to back

Has not been seen out since storming up in a Lisieux Class F in early-July, but with Yoann Lebourgeois back in the bike clearly means business and should not be far off the mark

Surprisingly below-par 5th of 15 in a 2100m Class E here a month ago after having got off the mark at Rambouillet the previous month. Is not about to get her nose in front but can nevertheless play an active role

Failed to confirm La Capelle victory when 6th, a place behind MAYA D'AVRIL (9), in a 2700m Class E here last week, and again appears to have too much to do

Unthreatening 5th of 9 in a Reims Class E 2.5 weeks ago, on first start for 2 months. Was quickly eliminated here before the spell and is not about to generate much interest

Has struggled since being stepped up in category and latest effort did nothing to inspire confidence

Has not raced since getting off the mark at Le Croise-Laroche last May and is going to need the run

Got off the mark at Alencon, on first start for new trainer, before faulting in a 2200m monte Class E here 2 weeks ago. Is patently in fine form and with stride in check is unlikely to disappoint

Surprise 2nd at Chateaubriant before finishing last but one at Reims, and is not about to spice things up

As tricky as they come but showed here recently that he is eminently up to the challenge and with the boss in the bike can get off the mark for the winter

Eliminated in last 3, most recently over the inner track. Pleased on sole appearance over the main track and given the chance can get in on the action

One of the classier elements here but has failed to deliver recently. Gets another chance to race left-handed and with his mind on the game this time, can set the record straight

Put away after winning in Vichy last June. Has a race under his belt and should show progress, but others still easier to like

Was going particularly well in a Mauquenchy Class E earlier in the month before losing his action. Won during the summer for Anthony Barrier and a repeat is not beyond the realm of possibility

Won this race 12 months ago but has done nothing of note since and can be confidently disregarded

Out of the picture in 2 since winning an Alencon claimer in early-October. Has never disappointed over course and distance but is still not easy to recommend
