4th at Enghien early-August before repeating over 2300m at Ostend a fortnight later, but faces a tougher task this time around

Sanctioned twice before finishing last of 10 in a 2150m Enghien Class E on 4 August, and can be confidently disregarded

In the frame in last 2, latterly a 2625m Cherbourg Class E on 19 August, but takes on a tougher bunch this time and chances limited

Well-beaten 6th of 8 in a 2150m Enghien Class D early last month. Is confirmed at Vincennes but looks outclassed this time

Makes first foray onto French territory after coming last of 11 over 2140m at Jagersro 3.5 weeks ago. Shoes on this time and can be ruled out

Makes French debut after winning over 2060m at Villanova d'Albenga late-July. Has had time to freshen up and, barefoot for the occasion, will be competitive for a cheque

Makes just 2nd visit to Vincennes after winning over 2150m at Son Pardo on Monday. Is confirmed here, and races barefoot, but appears to be out of his depth

4th of 10 behind JOKER DE LA BRETTE (10) in a 2875m Enghien Class E mid-August. Has shown improvement lately but still no more than a minor place chance

Failed to pull off the hat-trick when sanctioned in a Class E over course and distance 2 weeks ago, but nevertheless showed his form and, on good behaviour, can challenge for victory

Made up for Le Mans sanction when 2nd of 10 in a 2875m Enghien Class E mid-August. Franck Nivard stays faithful and can challenge for a place in the frame

Secured the 3-timer when successful in a 2650m Class F at Les Sables-d'Olonne on 9 August. Is new to Vincennes but will not be far off the mark if he adapts to the new conditions

Won at Le Mont-Saint-Michel before coming 4th of 8 in a 2725m Cabourg Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Cannot be considered a priority but will still have his supporters

5th of 10 in a 2800m Strasbourg Class E on comeback 9 days ago. Is behind in earnings and should be good enough to win a race of this nature

Decent 5th of 7 in a 1609m Argentan Class E when being conditioned for this a month ago. Races barefoot this time and the engagement of Eric Raffin can make all the difference

Failed to confirm his Montier-en-Der victory when pulled-up after faulting early in a 2700m Class E at La Capelle 11 days ago, and others easier to trust
