In the frame in last 2, latterly 2nd of 8 finishers in a 2700m Graignes Class F a month back. Takes on a better lot this time though and chances seem slim

Has been knocking at the door since the autumn, most recently 4th of 12 in a 2700m Class E here 9 days ago. Barefoot for first time here but still represents no more than a minor place prospect

5th of 11 in a Class E over course and distance 3 weeks ago. David Thomain in the bike this time but a repeat still seems improbable

Did not enjoy the best of trips when 6th of 12 behind KALIBRE (2) in a 2700m Class E here on 21 January. Seems to be close to previous form and is not one to be written off

Would have finished closer than 6th of 10 in a 2150m Cagnes Class E last week had he not faulted close to home. Has a poor Vincennes history though and can be ruled out

Failed to confirm good Pontchateau run when 7th of 9 finishers behind KAYAK (12) in a 2700m Class E here on 4 January. Races first-time barefoot though and will be expected to show another side

Won a 2800m Argentan Class F last Saturday, 2 weeks after placing at Angers. Has yet to show any liking for Vincennes however and others preferred

Starts for the first time since running 2nd of 10 finishers in a 2550m Bordeaux claimer early-December. Shoes on for re-entry and best to hold off

Got 2025 off to a good start with 100/1 success in a 2425m Angers Class F last week. Has never disappointed when barefoot and although unlikely to repeat, should still be taken seriously
Ch Nivard

Made all to comfortably win a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Should take well to the main-track profile and has every chance of doubling his money

Got back in the game 11 days ago when 2nd of 13 in a 2650m Saint-Galmier Class E. Flopped on lone start here but Eric Raffin gets the nod this time and will afford him every chance. First 5

Has taken well to Vincennes conditions, most recently 3rd of 9 finishers in a 2700m Class E on 4 January. Is not far off winning in the capital and must be afforded considerable respect

Has 2 races under his belt since the break, most recently 7th of 18 in a 3125m Angers Class F last Saturday. Shoes on however and others easier to back

5th over 2700m here in December before coming 7th of 13 in a 2750m Cabourg Class E early this month. Is plainly better than that and given the chance will be close to the action

Gives Vincennes another shot after coming 2nd of 14 in a 2650m Bordeaux Class E 3 weeks ago. Barefoot for the first time at the venue and with Mathieu Mottier in the bike will be no easy touch

Race Overview
A fairly open affair this but it is still difficult to ignore KISS COOL MIJACK (10) who imposed in very good order at Mauquenchy recently. Barefoot as he was when victorious at Carentan, and with Alexandre Abrivard reining, he looks a serious proposition. That said, KOMAN (15) has been firing on all cylinders recently, enjoys a terrific entry, and racing barefoot here for the first time could just be key to his success. Already proven over 2175m here, KAYAK (12) has taken well to the main-track profile and will be shod to preference. KIT ANGOT (14) sports a fresh configuration after disappointing at Cabourg but has good speed which will serve him well here.

10 - 15 - 12
