8th of 14, a place behind KRISTO STAR (5), on return to competition in a 2850m Class D 2.5 weeks ago. Has won 2 of 3 when barefoot and should not be underestimated

Steps up in category after coming 3rd of 11 in a 2700m Graignes Class B on 13 October. Is confirmed under these conditions and with Yoann Lebourgeois in the bike, is not about to disappoint

Has not been seen out since running 2nd to KAMOUR (9) in a 2550m Reims Class B mid-September. Is new to the main track but can play a small part if he takes to the new profile

7th of 14, a place behind KRISTO STAR (5), in a 2850m Class D conditioner 2.5 weeks ago. Shoes off this time and the engagement of Eric Raffin will only work to his advantage

Last but one behind KRISTO STAR (5) in a 2850m Class D conditioner 2.5 weeks ago. Competitively-shod this time and, with his mind on the game, can make a big impact

Disappointing in last 2, latterly 10th of 14, behind KRISTO STAR (5), in a 2850m Class D 2.5 weeks ago. Races barefoot again but others easier to trust

Versatile element that came 3rd of 12 in a 2750m Cabourg Class D mid-October. Has never let the side down here and will have a claim on a place in the frame

Last of 15 when being prepared for this in a Class C over track and trip on 30 October. Races barefoot this time and can apply the pressure on KADOR JOSSELYN (12). Chance

10th of 14, behind KOPECK DE CHENU (7), in a Class C conditioner over course and distance on 15 October. Will be ready for first objective of the winter meeting and can bring home the bacon

Race Overview
Complicated he may be but KADOR JOSSELYN (12) has talent to burn; he will be fit by now, is dangerous when barefoot, and has already won twice here. Similarly with 2 races under his belt, KAKOU CAYENNAIS (11) gets a 2nd crack at racing barefoot and, if focused, should prove the main threat. Yet to win at Vincennes, KOPECK DE CHENU (7) nevertheless has a bright future and, shod to preference, can play a leading role. Not once out of the first 3 in the day's configuration, KOMEO DU DOME (10) has shown a liking for the main track and will be expected to contest the finish.
