Produced a good effort at Pornichet early-August but quickly sanctioned in a 2650m Class E at Les Sables-d’Olonne 9 days ago. Form is not in doubt though and will not be far off the mark if Damien Bonne keeps him trotting

Took no time getting back in shape following the break, latterly 2nd of 13 in a 2725m Pornichet Class F last week. No fan of Vincennes but in present shape is very easy to like

8th of 10 on comeback in a 3025m Montier-en-Der Class F on 18 August. Goes barefoot this time but is frequently too spirited to warrant much support

Left quite the impression to win a 2750m Cabourg Class E 3 weeks ago. Better racing clockwise but is barefoot again and must not be underestimated

Looked ordinary when 7th of 12 in a 2600m Plouescat Class F mid-August. Benjamin Rochard reining but still not a priority

Went into his spell on a high note and returned 12 days ago, coming 4th of 11 in a 2625m Saint-Omer Class F. Respectable in 2 of 4 at the venue but still not an obvious choice

Back at the top of his game this summer, most recently 2nd of 11 finishers in a 2675m Class F at Divonne-les-Bains 3.5 weeks ago. In better company this time but is still capable of holding his own

In the frame in last 3, most recently runner-up to IVORINO D'ECHAL (15) in a 2775m Class F at Les Sables-d’Olonne on 21 August, and can again finish close

Not quite as sharp as he was earlier in the year, latterly 5th of 14 in a 2800m Langon Class G on 18 July. Has freshness on his side but still no more than a minor place prospect

Last of 8, on return from a layoff, in a 2775m Class E at Les Sables-d’Olonne 2 weeks ago. Is still being conditioned and best to wait

Has come off the boil somewhat, latterly 9th of 11 in a 2600m Cherbourg Class F 2.5 weeks ago, and will first need to re-establish her credentials

Reassuring 3rd of 8 in a 2800m Strasbourg Class E last week. Regularly in the thick of things when focused but cannot be considered a player this time around

Has hardly put a foot wrong over past 4 months, most recently 3rd of 8 in a 2700m Class E at La Capelle 10 days ago. Is proven at Vincennes but others still easier to back

5th of 8 to IVORINO D'ECHAL (15) in a 2950m Saint-Malo Class E 3.5 weeks ago. Front shoes off this time and will be competitive for a place in first 5

Has looked a different horse since moving yards, most recently securing the hat-trick in a 2775m Class F at Les Sables-d’Olonne on 21 August. Reunited with Matthieu Abrivard and will be expected to maintain his fruitful streak

Race Overview
It may have taken some time but IVORINO D'ECHAL (15) has started to deliver for his new trainer and, already a winner under these conditions, can pull off the 4-timer. He will nonetheless come under pressure from ILIO MANNETOT (2) who is plainly close to his race, and INTELLO D'ERABLE (4) who won smartly at Cabourg 3 weeks ago. IVAN DE L'ERDRE (8) has been lurking and makes his Vincennes debut with legitimate aspiration.
