6th of 9, despite missing the start, in a 2200m Class E here on 13 December. Is plainly a capable type and can play a leading role if he gets off on the right foot

Takes to ridden code for first time after coming 4th of 5 finishers in a 3000m Nantes harness Class G early last month. In considerably more exalted company this time and chances slim

Made amends for 2 sanctions when 3rd of 6 in a 2200m Class E here on 3 January. Has yet to deliver over main track but sports modified shoeing and will be worth monitoring

Opened his account in a 2825m Cordemais Class F 10 days ago. Has taken well to his new vocation and although unlikely to repeat can still finish in the mix

Unraced since being sanctioned in a 2750m Cabourg Class E late-October. Has ample ability though, is clearly in competition-mode, and must be afforded respect

Runner-up on monte debut at Cordemais prior to losing his action in a 2350m Angers Class E a week ago. Top jockey aboard this time and can trot off with the spoils if he keeps his charge focused

Quickly sanctioned in a 2750m Cabourg Class E on 19 December. Is better than his formcard would suggest and racing first-time barefoot may make all the difference. First 5

A different horse since switching codes, most recently dominating a 2875m Argentan Class F 11 days ago. Races left-handed for just the 2nd time but will have a lot to contribute if he turns

4th of 6, a place behind LOVE DE BEAULIEU (5), in a 2200m Class E here on 3 January. Barefoot for the occasion but will still need to find more

Race Overview
Although still rather spirited, LOUSTIC DU VIVIER (8) showed a different side to himself on his maiden start under the saddle and racing barefoot for the first time, with Mathieu Mottier riding, can open his monte account. LILIUS DE GUEZ (2) can also prove a handful but his potential is not in question and, reconfigured for the occasion, will be dangerous if Jean-Yann Ricart keeps him trotting. LITYGE DE CYM (10) has turned a corner since moving disciplines and can go close if he takes to the new conditions. LOUPIOT DE CHENU (6) has something of a similar profile and makes his Vincennes debut with morale intact.
