Reassuring, and surprising, 3rd of 13 to KING DE LARRE (6) in a 2200m Class D here a month ago. Will not be sent out at 88/1 this time but cannot be considered a player either

2nd on re-entry at Chartres but just 6th of 9 in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class A on 13 November, and is not about to spring any surprises

Unable to confirm Enghien victory when 5th of 14 in a 2850m Class D over the inner track on 22 October. Races barefoot and is not without a first-5 chance

Encouraging 3rd of 7 in a 2825m Class A at Le Croise-Laroche 3 weeks ago but faces a much stiffer test here

3rd to 2 very good horses in a 2825m Class B at Le Croise-Laroche on 1 November. Is patently on the way up and will be competitive for a place on the podium

Made up for Enghien sanction when easily winning a 2200m Class D here a month ago. Is confirmed over the main track and Benjamin Rochard will not be leaving with one arm as long as the other

Serious colt that won twice at Cabourg before running 4th of 11, a place behind KENZO DU MONT (11), in a 2700m Class D here 10 days ago. Plainly passed his test and should prove more competitive this time
Mme N Viel-pierre

Shod to preference after having finished 8th of 10 in a 2625m Class E conditioner at La Rochelle 3 weeks ago, but still not easy to like
Th Bourgault

Sanctioned, on first start since the break, in a 2825m Chartres Class E earlier this month. Shod to preference this time and, if applied, can make a big splash
Ecurie L Cl Abrivard

Last of 14, on comeback, in a 2800m Vire Class B late last month. Is still being conditioned though and best to hold off

3rd of 11 in a 2700m Class D here 10 days ago. Has taken no time getting back in shape and although unlikely to impose, can still get in on the action

Picked up 3.5 weeks ago where he left off before the spell, winning a 2100m Class E here. Goes over a more particular distance this time but still looks up to the task. Claim

Makes Vincennes debut after finishing 5th of 9 in a 2850m Laval Class A a fortnight ago. Has ample ability but represents no more than a minor place prospect

Race Overview
Undefeated in two starts over the main track, KEL PRESTANCE (12) will have come on for his recent performance and has a realistic chance of pulling off the hat-trick. Following his Chartres conditioner, KENOR DESBOIS (9) is unshod behind, reunited with Alexandre Abrivard, and could yet spoil the Lebourgeois-Locqueneux party. A more confident horse since starting to race barefoot, KING DE L'OUEST (5) is unlikely to disappoint. KRYSTAL PIYA (7) held his own here after a pair of right-handed victories and David Thomain will be justifiably confident of a big run.
