Rather disappointing this year, latterly 8th of 11 finishers in 22 March race of reference and will have nothing to contribute

Won 3 in a row at home in Italy before finishing ninth in the race of reference. Not the luckiest that day but still no more than a minor place prospect

Opened his Vincennes account at the first time of asking, easily winning at 2100m Class C early last month. Takes on a better lot this time but has bags of potential and could well pull off the 4-timer

Sanctioned when still competitive in race of reference, not having been seen out since running 4th in Italian Derby last autumn. Will have come on for the run and Yoann Lebourgeois will be determined to make amends

Useful colt but quickly sanctioned in 22 March race of reference. Returns to racing shod and best to keep one's powder dry

Defied his 98/1 to run 5th of 15 in 22 March race of reference, although a repeat looks decidedly unlikely

Made decent comeback when 3rd of 15 to LORD DU BASSIN (12) in a 2700m Class A here 2 weeks ago. Will have progressed for the run and is in with a reasonable shout of imposing

Makes first appearance since running 4th of 11 in a 2700m Gr.3 here on 11 January. Is plainly in competition-mode but can still not be considered a player

Got back in the game when 2nd of 15 to LORD DU BASSIN (12) in a 2700m Class A here 2 weeks ago. Unlikely to repeat but can still be regarded a first-5 candidate

Makes first start since finishing last of 9 in a 2700m monte Gr.3 here late-November. Shoes fitted for comeback and will not be given a hard race

Returns to Vincennes after securing a 2925m Cagnes Class A on 9 March. Is new to 2850m here but has never disappointed at Vincennes and should not be ruled out

Made it 2 in a row when comfortably winning a 2700m Class A here 2 weeks ago. Adores Vincennes and with form maintained can bring home the bacon once again

Runner-up in a Gr.3 here late-January before coming 6th of 11 behind LYRIKO BELLO (11) in a 2700m Gr.3 here on 1 March. Is nicely-entered and in this class of race looks competitive for a place in the frame

Race Overview
A classy colt that has not put a foot wrong lately, LORD DU BASSIN (12) is unbeaten in 2 starts when unshod-behind and Alexandre Abrivard will be intent on keeping it that way. He will still feel the heat from the likes of the improving LE BILLET VERT (7) who ran 3rd to him on re-entry that day, and the Italian FLAMENCO FER (3) who made short work of his Vincennes debut early last month. LIZZANO D'ALOUETTE (13) drops to a more reasonable category and will be competitively-shod for the first time.
Selection:
12 - 7 - 3
