Last of 15, behind HAMIGO (8), in a 2675m Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel 2 weeks ago, and has no possible chance

3rd of 10 in a 2500m amateurs Class F at La Rochelle 3 weeks ago. Front shoes off but can still expect to find himself outclassed

Made up for his Parilly blip when 2nd of 11 in a 2625m Cherbourg Class F last Sunday. Pitted against a better lot on this occasion but, with some luck in running, can get a look-in

Runner-up in last 2, latterly a 2800m Auch Class F on 11 November. Enjoys a front-row break and can figure prominently at the business end of affairs

Unexceptional 6th of 13, a place behind HORACIO DE CERISY (6), in a 3300m Chartres Class F a fortnight ago, and is unlikely to cause an upset

4th over course and distance before coming 3rd of 13 in a 3300m Chartres Class F a fortnight ago. Benjamin Rochard takes over and, from front row, should not be far from the action

Winner of both since the spell, latterly a 2750m Toulouse Class F on 28 October, and will be competitive once more

Placed in both since the summer break, most recently 2nd of 15 in a 2675m Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel a fortnight ago. Has no Vincennes references but the opportunity is too good to ignore. Chance

Reassuring 4th of 13, a place behind HORACIO DE CERISY (6), in a 3300m Chartres Class F a fortnight ago. Has not delivered at Vincennes for 2 years though and is not about to start now

Reliable sort that finished 3rd of 14 in a 2850m Class D here on 25 October. Incurs the penalty once more but thrives under these conditions and will be no pushover

Secured the hat-trick in a 2775m Class D at les Sables on 21 October. Simply excels with Eric Raffin and, despite the handicap, still looks the horse to beat

Quality element that ran 2nd of 9 in a 3000m Nantes monte Class D on 6 November. Has been knocking at the door in both codes and, despite a 25m penalty, still looks competitive for a place cheque

Ran 2nd at Enghien before coming 5th of 16 in a 2200m Caen Class B on 20 October. Races shod this time though and best to hold off

Last of 14, when being conditioned, in a 2100m Class B here on 5 November. Is better in the other code but enjoys an excellent entry, and racing barefoot will do her chances no disservice
