Capable sort that finished 7th of 9, on re-entry, in a 2725m Graignes Class E a week ago. Stays shod though and best to wait

Sanctioned after bumping wheels in a 2850m Class E here on 14 November. Was clearly competitive that day and can set the record straight if Damien Bonne keeps him out of trouble

2nd of 11 in a 2200m Vincennes Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Has been knocking at the door but may have to settle for a minor place cheque this time

Returns to racing barefoot after finishing 8th of 12, behind KILLER DE BEAULIEU (13), in a 2850m Class E here on 14 November. Is plainly better than that but has more to do this time

Ran 5th at Enghien before running a valiant 6th of 13, behind KNOX JENILOU (11), in a 2100m Class E here on 4 November, but even racing barefoot is unlikely to improve on that

Stayed on well to come 4th of 13 in a 2100m Class E here on 4 November. Is in his category and the change of driver can make all the difference. Place chance

Convincing winner of a 2850m Laval Class E 3 weeks ago. Enjoys a fine entry and can make his Vincennes debut a winning one

Race Overview
Highly-impressive winner of his last two, KOVES DU PONT (15) makes his first Vincennes appearance since last winter and has a realistic chance of securing the hat-trick. KILIMANDJARO PLAYA (16) however, has been on quite the run lately and, similarly well-engaged, he races first-time barefoot and looks dangerous. KART HAUFOR (3) was most unlucky here mid-month and Damien Bonne will be eager to put things right. Reconfigured for the occasion, KNOX JENILOU (11) is always game, pleased here earlier in the month, and the engagement of Alexandre Abrivard will only work in his favour.
