Classy colt making just 2nd start back, finishing 11th of 12, on return, in a 2700m Vincennes Gr.3 late last month. Adores Enghien but still looks race-rusty

Set personal best time in Gr.3 Prix Jean le Gonidec before trotting 7th to JIOSCO DE PHYT'S (14) in Gr.3 Prix RMC over 2850m across town a fortnight ago and, with more luck in running, could yet impose

Sent to Mathieu Mottier after coming 6th of 8 in a 2175m Vincennes Gr.3 a fortnight ago, nonetheless setting his personal best chrono that day, and while not a priority, will be worth monitoring

Made it 2 on the trot when winning the 2175m Gr.2 Prix Jean le Gonidec at Vincennes, at 20/1, a month back. Unlikely to pull off the hat-trick but can still figure prominently

Surprise 4th in Gr.2 Prix Jean le Gonidec before trotting 3rd to JIOSCO DE PHYT'S (14) in 2850m Gr.3 Prix RMC at Vincennes 2 weeks ago. Is plainly on the march forward and can compete for a place cheque

Disappointing 8th of 17 in a 2750m Craon Class B, when being conditioned, on 24 June. First time up against her elders and represents no more than a minor place prospect

Enormously talented but as capricious as they come. Unraced since faulting in 2700m Gr.1 Criterium des 3 Ans at Vincennes mid-September. Will not be given a hard race and can be passed over

Quality Italian sort making maiden Enghien appearance after finishing last but one in a a 2100m Gr.1 Vincennes 'conditioner' on re-entry 2 weeks ago. Has nothing to prove in this class and, with application, can go far

Race Overview
Second in a Gr.2 early-May, JIOSCO DE PHYT'S (14) most recently won the Gr.3 Prix RMC under similar conditions at Vincennes, with consummate ease, and is obviously going to be sent out well-backed, but JET EXPRESS (4) has been putting in some impressive performances, the despite results suggesting otherwise, and may well be marginally preferable to Eric Raffin's charge this time. DESIDERIO D'ESI (10) will have come on for his Gr.1 freshener and the engagement of Alexandre Abrivard will do his prospects no disservice. Third to the favourite at Vincennes, JUST A MIDI (7) has a particular liking for Enghien and, unshod behind this time, can finish in the mix.
