Very good, and reliable, servant under the saddle, latterly 2nd of 11 finishers in a 2850m Vincennes Class C on 21 June, but takes on better this time and no more than a minor place prospect

Never-dangerous 7th of 13 in a 2875m Class C here on 15 June, and at this level, will struggle to make his mark
Jean-claude Cachia

Serious trotter that came 2nd of 8 in a 3000m Marseille-Borely Class C on 17 May. Has not been seen out since and in this field will not find the going easy

Has merit but not as sharp as she used to be, latterly last of 8, behind FULTON (10), in a 2700m Vincennes Gr.3 late June, and can expect to have few takers
Ecurie Alexandre Pillon

Last but one, on comeback, in a 2875m harness claimer here 2 weeks ago. Competitively-shod this time but others still easier to back
Ecurie Adtrotting

Made an impressive return to the code at Caen before winning a 2525m Cavaillon harness Class B 3 weeks ago. Steps up in category but is still capable of challenging for a place in the frame

Quality mare that has struggled this year but came a respectable 5th of 8 in a 2850m Vincennes Class A on 14 June and, given her liking for Enghien, will have a say in the outcome
Mlle L Ledoyen

1m6h0h6m1m6
Victorious at Vincennes before coming an unlucky last of 6 finishers in Gr.3 Prix Paul Delanoe over 2175m at same venue early last month. Has had time to freshen up however and expectations are high for a big finish

Lost his way after winning a brace earlier in the year, most recently last but one in a 2850m Vincennes Class A mid-May. Has had time to get his act together and, if focused, can play a small part
Ecurie Le Rivage
G

Never easy to handle but finished a reassuring 3rd of 9 in a 2700m Vincennes Gr.3 on 28 June. 5th in this race last year but looks more a place prospect this time around
Ecurie Des Charmes
F
8 yrs
5h0m2h4m2h0
Returns to her code of preference after finishing last of 10 in Gr.1 Kymi Grand Prix at Kouvola mid-June. Has nothing to prove in this category and, already 4 times a winner here, can bring home the bacon once more

Race Overview
Gr.1 Prix de l'Ile-de-France winner earlier in the year, GEISHA SPEED (11) seldom disappoints in this branch of the business and, refreshed from her Finnish trip, can get straight back down to business. Oscar Placier will nevertheless feel the heat from GO FOR THE GOLD (8) who won a Vincennes Gr.2 before enduring a woeful trip behind the Duvaldestin mare at the same venue early last month. FULTON (10) defied his odds to trot 3rd in another Vincennes Gr.3 late last month and, in similar shape, should put on another decent showing. FOUGUE DU DOLLAR (7) reassured across town mid-June, sports a fresh configuration, and with application can give this a good go.
