3rd of 10, a place behind HURRICANE WAY (7), in a 2875m Enghien Class C late last month. Is the better horse and should easily turn the tables
Ecurie Alexis Grimault

3m6h9h7m7m5
Defied his odds to finish 5th of 12 in a 2875m Enghien Class D 3 weeks ago, but a repeat seems most improbable
Ecurie Cama

Sanctioned when preparing for this in a 2575m harness Class D at Agen on 23 October. Hard to fault when focused but the change of shoeing will do him no favours
Benoit Berrue
G

0h0m3m1m1mD
Sanctioned in a 2875m Enghien Class D on 17 October, after having won 2 on the trot. Barefoot as he was when victorious here and looks a decent proposition once more
Ecurie De L' Iton
F

9m1m9-m1m2
Quality mare making first appearance since coming 2nd of 7 in a 2875m Enghien Class C last March. Barefoot for the occasion and, while not a leading contender, is still worth respecting
Christophe Amigo
G

0h0m6h0m8h0
Last of 14, on return from a layoff, in a 2850m Laval Class D late-September. Has had time to come on, is dangerous when barefoot and focused, and if fully-fit, could set the cat among the pigeons
Ecurie Damien Bonne

4m5m6m7hDm2
Missed out by the smallest of margins in a 2875m Enghien Class C on 27 October. Was worth every penny of his 42/1 and, if still on the boil, could spoil the party
Maurice Desaint Denis
G

9h0h0hDh0h9
Back under the saddle after finishing 9th of 17 in a 2800m Strasbourg harness Class D a fortnight ago, but better options available
Ecurie Luck
G

1m8m9h9h0m6
Considerably better than his 6th of 10 behind FALCON D'ESPACE (14) in a 2450m Caen Class B 2.5 weeks ago would suggest. Boasts solid credentials at this level and is unlikely to be far from the action
Philippe Carillon
G

4m4m3mD-mD
Quality element but has not been seen out since faulting in a Class C over course and distance last January. Goes barefoot but will be race-rusty
Ecurie B

Won over 2400m at home in Prunelli di Fium'Orbo 2.5 weeks ago. Is proven under the saddle but in this company has no possible chance
D Raffini
G

5h5h0h8m5m7
Disappointing 7th of 10 behind FALCON D'ESPACE (14) in a 2450m Caen Class B 2.5 weeks ago, and will need to find considerably more
Ecurie B

8hDh2h5h4h0
Debuts in the discipline after trailing in last of 15 [effectively withdrawn] in a harness Class C over course and distance last week. Has evident ability and could well find his niche under the saddle
Ecurie Haras Des Quatre Vents
G

4m3m4m9m4m2
Showed he was back on track when 2nd of 10 in a 2450m Caen Class B 2.5 weeks ago. Has never delivered over 2700m here but, in present condition, is easy to like for a place on the podium
Ecurie Breizh D'espace
Race Overview
Even better this year than he was in 2023, ILTON ROYAL (1) has nothing to prove under these conditions and should logically take all the beating. Lilian Bertin will still want to keep an eye on HURRICANE WAY (7) who beat her, putting on quite the show at Enghien recently, the good FALCON D'ESPACE (14) who reassured at Caen last time, and a barefoot FOSTER DE L'ITON (4) who won a pair before losing his action across town 3 weeks ago.
