Tricky character that made short work of a 2800m Strasbourg Class F on 25 October. Barefoot this time but still not a priority

3rd of 10, when preparing for this, in a 2450m Caen harness Class E last weekend. Has previously won over the main track but is unlikely to shake things up

Quickly sanctioned in a 2875m Argentan Class E a fortnight ago. Placed just once in 5 over 2175m here, but tends to go well for Alexandre Abrivard and can make up for Argentan sanction

Serious German trotter that flew up in a 2250m Enghien Class E on 19 October. Top driver in the bike this time and has a realistic chance of making the frame

Returned to competition in cracking form, latterly dominating a 2725m Cabourg harness Class D a month ago. Is plainly at the top of his game and can bring the fight to IN YOUR EYES (10)

Unraced since finishing last of 12 in a 2750m Pornichet Class E mid-August. Races barefoot for re-entry but still hard to recommend

Drops in category after running 6th of 11 in a 2850m Class C here a month ago. Is a tough nut to crack and debuts in the discipline with Mathieu Mottier on board and a good hand to play

Runner-up in 2 here last month, latterly a 2700m Class D on 29 October. Enjoys a fabulous entry, has never disappointed at Vincennes, and is not about to start. Claim

Sanctioned in a Class D over course and distance on 22 October. Has otherwise been showing his form and, on good behaviour, can contest the finish

Race Overview
A veritable star in this branch of the business, IN YOUR EYES (10) simply excels here, and the new distance may be just what's required to unblock his Vincennes account. MISTER INVICTUS (7) though has shown significant versatility and, first time barefoot at Vincennes, will be no soft touch. German 6yo, STACCATO HL (6), is as tough as they come and the engagement of Benjamin Rochard will only work in his favour. HIRO DE L'ORMERIE (11) is nicely-engaged here and, sporting a new configuration, will not be far off the mark if focused.
