Makes first appearance since beating LEADER DU CHATAULT (6) to win a 2500m Chatelaillon-La Rochelle Class C 2 months ago. Come here fresh and although unlikely to repeat can still put on a decent show

Sanctioned early in a 2700m Vincennes Gr.3 early-June, but nevertheless showed his form. Is better than most here and can bring home the bacon if he stays in stride

Winner of last 2, most recently with some ease, in a 2200m Vincennes Class D on 11 June. Ideally-positioned on the front row and has a realistic chance of pulling off the 3-timer

Has won 3 of last 4 starts, most recently clinching a 2850m Vincennes Class D on 18 June. Should take well to Enghien conditions and, from the 4-spot, can play a leading role

Yet to get off the mark but showed improvement early last month when 3rd in a 2175m Vincennes Class B. Sanctioned on lone appearance here but benefits from a decent draw and can be considered an interesting outsider

Missed out by little to LEADER D'AIMTE (1) in a 2500m Chatelaillon-La Rochelle Class C 2 months ago. Has had time to recuperate and is not about to go home empty-handed

Returns to the harness code after coming last of 6 finishers in a 2175m Vincennes monte Class A late-May. Is clearly capable but in this company represents no more than a minor-place prospect

Made an excellent return to competition when 2nd to a very good horse in a Class B over course and distance mid-June. Starts wide on the front line, but with Yoann Lebourgeois reining this time, looks a player

3rd over course and distance last month before trotting 5th of 8 in a 2875m Class C here 10 days ago. Gives a good account for the most part, but under these conditions is unlikely to spring a surprise

Useful colt that failed to make good on his favourite's status when faulting in a 2875m Class C here 10 days ago. Could have asked for a better draw but will have come on for his return run and must be taken seriously

Failed to confirm his good June performance when sanctioned in a 2950m Vichy Class C 9 days ago. Pleased last time here but chances slim on this occasion

Oddly below-par 7th of 8, behind LORD DE BANVILLE, in a 2175m Vincennes Class B on 4 June. Has never excelled at this level though and from the 2nd line is not going to cause an upset

Race Overview
A colt of considerable talent, L'AS DESBOIS (2) was sanctioned early in a Gr.3 across town early last month, but clearly demonstrated that he is in rude health all the same and, with application, can wrap this up. William Bigeon will still be legitimately wary of the similarly well-positioned LUPIN D'OLMEN (3) who makes his Enghien debut on a hat-trick, and 2nd-line starter LOTUS GRIFF (10) who should logically bounce back from his recent sanction. LEXINGTON DANICA (4) won his 3rd of the season last time out and is well-placed to give this a good go.
