Ran close at Caen early-March before faulting in a 2850m Laval Class E late last month. Shoes on and will be no easy touch if Francois Lagadeuc keeps him trotting

Showed improvement when 3rd of 9 finishers in a 2850m Laval Class E mid-March. Is on the way back up and appears to represent a decent first-5 prospect

Won 2 on the trot before being sent for a break and defied his odds on re-entry when 4th of 13 in a 2850m Laval Class E 3 weeks ago. Unlikely to spring a surprise but should still give an honest account

Encouraged here early last month before losing his action, when well-supported, in a 2875m Class E at Meslay-du-Maine 18 days later. Not a priority but still has the wherewithal to get a look-in

Erratic colt but reassured when 2nd of 7 finishers in a 2150m Argentan Class E 3 weeks ago. If focused and in similar form, there should be a cheque in it for him
C Megissier

Returned to winning ways in a 2600m Nancy Class F 3 weeks ago. In this company though, will need to find significantly more
P Vercruysse

Modest individual that was sanctioned, when left alone in the markets, in a 2050m Lyon-La Soie Class D last week and will not be springing any surprises

Reassuring 4th, a place behind KOUTBOL (12), in a 2450m Caen Class E on 27 March. Will be fully-fit by now and with a leading driver reining, must be afforded considerable respect
Ch Germain

Unbeaten in 3 starts to date, most recently a tenacious winner of a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E a fortnight ago. First time racing over the main track but has already won at the venue and can confirm

7th, behind KING OF DAY (11) in a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine Class E a month ago. Useful on a good day but is expected to need the outing
J Ch Audran

6th of 16 in a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine Class E a month back. Shod more competitively this time but still looks to have too much to do
D Besnard

h1h1-h5h1h3
Has demonstrated considerable aptitude, latterly missing out by little for 2nd in a 2450m Caen Class E on 27 March. Debuts at Vincennes but can make this his own if he takes to the new profile
Ecurie Thierry Duvaldestin
Race Overview
A colt with a fine future, KOUTBOL (12) makes his Vincennes debut at the top of his game and should be good enough to wrap this up. Clement Duvaldestin will still be paying attention to the unbeaten and progressive KEEP OUT (9) who also has claims on the trophy, and the tricky but useful KOZIELLO DE LOU (8) who is reunited with Yoann Lebourgeois. KAZAN BEACH (1) has shoes back on and should logically make up for his Laval sanction.
Selection:
12 - 9 - 8
