Won 3 of last 4, latterly with authority in a 2300m Marseille-Borely Class E on 29 August. Reverts to his Cagnes configuration for Vincennes debut and the Alexandre Abrivard-factor cannot be ignored

Runner-up in last 2, most recently to KRONOS ZEN (9), in a 2700m Class E here late last month. First time unshod-all-4 however and warrants considerable respect

Showed improvement when 4th of 10 in a 2875m Enghien Class D mid-August. Has yet to deliver at Vincennes but is still worth monitoring

Made up for his Enghien blip when 3rd of 10, at 81/1, in a 2100m Class D here a month back, but a repeat seems improbable

Tricky character that came in an unexceptional 5th of 9 in a 2850m Feurs Class B 3 weeks ago. Pleased once here at 3 but looks out of his depth this time

Has not been seen out since finishing 9th of 11 in a 2700m Class B here 7 months ago. Shoes on and can expect to find himself treading water

Pleasant 4th here last month before finishing 7th of 10 in a 2825m Chartres Class B 9 days ago. Shoes back on but still not a concern

Solid in both recent Vincennes appearances, latterly 4th of 12 in a 2700m Class D here early this month. Beat KAVANI (11) that day and is unlikely to disappoint

Seldom lets the side down when focused which he showed on 28 August when storming to victory in a 2700m Class E here. Steps up in category but still looks the pick of the field

Disappointing last of 12 in a 2700m Class D here early this month. In not devoid of talent though and it is only a question of time before he comes good again

Unlucky 5th of 12, behind KARLOS DU LOISIR (8), in a 2700m Class D here early this month, but will have a lot more to offer if Rochard keeps him out of trouble

Race Overview
He may not be the easiest horse to deal with but KRONOS ZEN (9) was never troubled here late last month and, with Eric Raffin engaged for the occasion, has every chance of doubling his money. Second to him that day, KOQUIN D'AMOUR (2) races barefoot for the first time, which will keep the champion driver keen. Arguably not as sharp as he was last winter, KAVANI (11) sports a new configuration and being entrusted to Benjamin Rochard will do his prospects no disservice. KARLOS DU LOISIR (8) is clearly back on the boil and Franck Nivard gets the nod again.
