Made it 2 on the trot when running out a superior winner of a 2850m Class E here on 17 November. In better company this time but can still impose

Off the boil since June, most recently 10th of 13 behind KISS ME DU LIVET (7) in a 2850m Class D here a week ago, and is not about to spring any surprises

Made up for Le Croise-Laroche clinker when 3rd of 9 in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class A mid-November. Nicely-placed behind the car and has a reasonable chance of finishing close

2nd of 12 in a Class E over course and distance 2 weeks ago. Occupies the plum spot in front and has every chance of making the frame once more

Won over the inner course before faulting early in a 2850m Class D here a week ago, coming 8th of 13 behind KISS ME DU LIVET (7). With a better start though, can play a leading role

Endured a tough trip behind KLASSE DE BRUZEAU (9) in a 2700m Class D here 2 weeks ago, coming 9th of 14. Starts in front and, on better behaviour, can challenge for the win this time

Pleasantly surprising 3rd of 13 in a 2850m Class D here a week ago. Barefoot again but a repeat seems unlikely

Pleasant 4th of 8 in a 3000m Nantes Class A on 17 November. Hind shoes off for first time but others still preferred

Surprising 4th of 14, at 39/1, in a 2700m Class D here 2 weeks ago, but in this category will have too much to do

9th of 12, behind KLASS HAUFOR (4), in a Class E over course and distance 2 weeks ago. Front pads back on and cannot be considered a priority

Last but one, on re-entry, behind KLASSE DE BRUZEAU (9) in a 2700m Class D here 2 weeks ago. Has never failed to fire when barefoot and must be respected

10th of 14 in 22 November race of reference. Returns to racing unshod-behind and it is only a question of time before she starts to come good again

Won a Class E over course and distance before running 2nd of 10 in a Class D under similar conditions mid-October. Has not been seen out since but is barefoot again and, despite the draw, is not incapable of spicing things up

Race Overview
Winner at Angers before opening her Vincennes account in style, at the first time of asking, KALINE DE FAEL (1) is very easy to live for a three-peat. She is not going to have it all her own way this time though, Matthieu Abrivard surely intent on making up for the misfortune KINDY DU VIVIER (6) endured here a fortnight ago. KENZA SUPREME (5) was victorious over the inner track before faulting early next time, and Mathieu Mottier will be careful to assure her initial strides. KLASS HAUFOR (4) left a good impression on her first winter mission, and is not going to be far from the action.

1 - 6 - 5
