Smart winner of a 2850m Class E here a week ago. Steps up in category and breaks from the 1-spot but, with Eric Raffin reining, will not go down easily

Quality element that held off a serious challenge to win a 2175m Class C here 9 days ago. Appreciates Vincennes and the 4-timer looks a distinct possibility

Sanctioned in a 2750m Ecommoy Class B 3 weeks ago. Handed a good draw, with a leading driver reining, is proven over the distance and must not be underestimated

Not the easiest of horses to handle, but ran an fine 2nd of 8 in a Class D over course and distance 12 days ago and, if still on the boil, can make a big impact

Made it 4 sanctions in 5 starts after faulting in a 2750m Ecommoy Class B 3 weeks ago. Has evident talent, sports hind pads, and is well-placed, but others still easier to trust

Turned a corner over the summer, most recently coming 2nd of 8 in a 2850m Class C here late-August. Breaks in front and barefoot again, is unlikely to disappoint

4th of 11 in a 2775m Craon Class D early this month. Boasts a good record over course and distance and, although not ideally-drawn, he goes barefoot and can play an active part

Handy Italian colt with an enviable strike-rate, making Vincennes debut after finishing last of 5, behind EVERY TIME WINNER (2), in a a mile event in Milan on 22 August, and will have little to offer

Race Overview
Twice a winner at San Siro before repeating in a Class C here recently, EVERY TIME WINNER (2) has been handed a terrific draw and is going to take all the beating. Leading the opposition is recent Reims winner, JOJO TOONS (8), who won over course and distance last winter, and the perfectly-positioned, and fully-padded, JERZINO VICI (4) who defied his odds here mid-month. JOPLIN DES CROUAS (3) is effective over these shorter trips, when focused, and the engagement of Benjamin Rochard will only work in his favour.
