Sanctioned, on first start back, in a 2525m Class H at Les Andelys mid-September. Is useful when focused, and races unshod-behind, but still no more than a minor place prospect

Remarkably-consistent sort that imposed at Feurs early-September before running 2nd of 14 in a 2725m Pornichet Class F a fortnight ago. Races barefoot this time and with Franck Nivard in the bike must be respected

Tricky element that pleasantly surprised when 4th of 14 in a 2625m Cherbourg Class E 9 days ago. Unlikely to repeat but should nevertheless acquit himself honourably

Would have finished close in a 2850m Class E here on 22 September had he stayed trotting. Is clearly at the top of his game and, with application, can open his Vincennes account
Francis Letellier

Finished 6th of 13, at 96/1, in a 2725m Pornichet Class F a fortnight ago, and a repeat seems most improbable

Fast-finishing 3rd of 13 in a 2850m Laval Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Has not delivered at Vincennes for some time but with Raffin back in the bike, will be afforded every chance

Returned to winning ways at Cabourg mid-August but sanctioned over course and distance a month ago. Sports 4 pads for first time and debuts for Willy Michel with every chance of making it worth his while
W Michel

Was enjoying a fruitful summer before finishing 6th of 11 in a 2825m Class E at Le Croise-Laroche last Monday, and backs up with limited chances

Serious mare that did not enjoy the best of trips at Laval 2.5 weeks ago, coming 8th of 13, behind IMPERATRICE HEDEN (6), in a 2850m Class E. Competitively-shod this time and will be expected to put things right
Ecurie Du Closet

2h3h1h1h8h3
Honourable 3rd of 14 in a 2850m Class E here on 22 September. Will have progressed for the run and is not incapable of rewarding his new trainer with success
J J Baillon
F

1h1hDh5h0hD
Capable when focused but has not been seen out since faulting in a 2000m Rambouillet Class D 4 months ago, and will need the run
Ph Cordon
G

Dh1h3h1h2hD
Sanctioned on Vincennes debut early last month, faulting in the final turn of a Class E over course and distance, but if focused can more than make amends
R Mourlon
F

6h5h1h2h1h4
Makes her Vincennes debut in fine form, most recently 4th of 10 in a 2850m Parilly amateurs Class G on 18 September, but is nevertheless being aimed to high
Ecurie Remy Despres
Race Overview
IT'S CLASSIC ROCK (4) was on a terrific run of form before faulting, when competitive, here recently; David Thomain gets the nod this time and can set the record straight. 3rd that day, on his first objective of the new season, IVARUN (10) will have come on for the run and should again figure prominently, but he may first have to see off the on-song INDIGO DE NAPPES (12) who has been entrusted to Alexandre Abrivard for the first time. Regularly in the thick of things when barefoot and focused, IMPERATRICE HEDEN (6) thrives with her driver and will have ambitions on a place cheque.
