Has struggled since coming south, most recently 7th of 12 in a 2700m Cagnes Class on 9 March, and even though reconfigured is not about to cause an upset

2nd of 11 in a 2700m Class C here a fortnight ago. Has done nothing but improve lately, is well-drawn, and due another victory

4th to EXPRESS D'ARC (8) on French debut prior to coming 2nd of 11 to CAVIAR FROM MINE (4) in a 2450m Caen Class B on 10 March. Is well-positioned here and Paul Ploquin will be legitimately confident of a big run
Tord Olsson

Won a 2450m Caen Class B on 10 March when associated with Yoann Lebourgeois for first time. Ideally-positioned behind the car and is eminently capable of confirming

10th of 14 in a 2000m Parilly Class E on Tuesday and backs up shod and with no possible chance

4th of 11 to JOLICOEUR (2) in a 2700m Class C here a fortnight ago. Can be considered unlucky that day and redemption should logically be on the cards

Respectable 5th of 15 in a 2675m Lisieux Class F 3 weeks ago. Has never excelled under these conditions though and will need to find more
Ecurie J-p R Vilault

3 wins in 4 starts here during the winter, latterly a 2850m Class B on 7 February. Handed a wide draw but comes here fresh and will be expected to give JOLICOEUR (2) a run for his money
Chelsea Srls

2h5hD-hDh5
Makes first appearance since being sanctioned in a 2700m Class C here mid-February. Franck Nivard would have preferred a better draw but is reconfigured and should not be written off
Ecurie Des Charmes

Has not been seen out since running 6th of 13 in a 2850m Gr.3 here early-December and is going to need the race

Faithful servant making first appearance since winning a 2875m Argentan Class A last November and is going to need the run

Unraced since finishing 8th of 14 behind ELON MAIL (14) in a 2700m Class E here on 11 February. Is as game as they come but in this category may be taking on too much
Dietmar Thelen
G

Has thrived since coming to France, latterly winning a 2575m Agen Class E on 16 March. Not ideally-drawn but with David Thomain reining can be assured a competitive drive
Francesco Sorrentino

Pleased in 2 here before being sanctioned in a 2575m Agen Class E on 16 March. Is badly-drawn and out of his depth
Alessio Ferrara

Starts for first time since winning a 2200m monte Class E in November. Has other priorities and can be passed over
Ecurie Mathieu Mottier
C

Has not been seen out since winning over 2100m in Bjerke. Is new to Vincennes and has been handed a shocking draw but has been entrusted to Matthieu Abrivard and is unlikely to be far off the mark

Race Overview
Hard to fault since leaving the nordics, JOLICOEUR (2) is close to winning another and the draw will do his prospects no disservice. Another horse to have taken superbly to Vincennes conditions, EXPRESS D'ARC (8) may be unraced for 2 months, and starts wide, but simply thrives here and Gabi Gelormini won with him that day. CAVIAR FROM MINE (4) opened his French account last month and returns to Paris with morale restored and, from the 4-spot, a good hand to play. HASHTAG SIMONI (6) would have finished closer to the Mottier-horse last time had he stayed in stride and Alexandre Abrivard will be keen to set things right.
