Is considerably better than his 5th of 9 in a Class B over course and distance a fortnight ago would suggest. Has nothing to prove in this category and will be competitive for a place in the frame
Y Desmet
F

3rd under these conditions early-October before faulting, when on course for a cheque, in a Class B over track and trip a fortnight ago. Has merit though and should not be written off
Ecurie Des Charmes
G
9 yrs
Returned to winning ways 8 days ago, dominating a 3000m Marseille-Borely Class C. In better company this time but is here on his merits and, with Damien Bonne in the bike, should be taken seriously
Ecurie G Delacour
F
8 yrs
6th of 14 behind HEDIC GEMA (16) in a Class B over 2100m here 2.5 weeks ago. Has more to find though and is unlikely to improve on that
J L Ducatel
G
8 yrs
5th of 14 behind HEDIC GEMA (16) in a Class B over 2100m here 2.5 weeks ago. Is not the easiest horse to handle and others preferred this time
Ecurie Molina

Easy winner of a 2300m Marseille-Borely Class B early last month. Has not produced the goods at Vincennes for some time but, in present form, is easy to like
Ecurie Jean Paul Marmion
F

7th in 5 November race of reference. Not the horse she was here last winter and must get her act together
Mme M Comolet
G
9 yrs
Sanctioned in last 4, most recently 5 November race of reference, and can be confidently disregarded
D Fricaux
G

-
Unimpressive 8th of 14 in 5 November race of reference and is unlikely to garner much support
Ecurie Luck
F
8 yrs
Back under harness after trotting 4th of 9 in a 2850m monte Gr.3 on 11 October. Boasts excellent course-and-distance credentials and, although not a leading protagonist, should still not be discounted
Ecurie Du Haras D'erable
G
8 yrs
Reassuring 4th of 8 over 2100m at Wolvega on 12 October but in this category, and sporting pads, will have limited prospects
A Wit
C
7 yrs
Reassuring 3rd of 14, a place behind HEDIC GEMA (16), in a Class B over 2100m here 2.5 weeks ago. Known more for her speed but is not here to pick up the crumbs
Global Glide Ab
F
7 yrs
Good 4th of 14 behind HEDIC GEMA (16) in a Class B over 2100m here 2.5 weeks ago. Is back over the distance of her last success and is not incapable of denying HEDIC GEMA (16) a golden opportunity
Mme C Douillet
C
8 yrs
Returns to racing barefoot after coming 5th of 13 in a 2850m Class D here on 4 November. Has form at this level but may be taking on too much too soon
Mme Sandrine Loncke
G
8 yrs
Blows hot and cold but ran a good 4th to HAPPY DANICA (13) in a Class B over course and distance late-September. Comes here fresh, barefoot, and with a good hand to play
C Chenu
G
7 yrs
Runner-up in 2 straight, most recently a Class B over 2100m here 2.5 weeks ago. Is plainly close to his race and can impose this time
Ecurie Marc Sassier
Race Overview
Marc Sassier, whose stable is flying at the moment, could not be happier with the entry HEDIC GEMA (16) enjoys here and, in current form, his charge should be able to win this. Course-and-distance winner late-September, HAPPY DANICA (13) ran 4th to her earlier this month and looks considerably more competitive this time. HAMILTON DU HAM (1) may not have been quite up to scratch recently but he has otherwise been in cracking condition and looks a player. A veritable metronome of late, HALICIA BELLA (6) makes the long trip to Paris with a realistic chance of finishing close.
