4th of 14 in a 2850m Laval Class E mid-February, his first start since April 2023. Will have progressed for the run and debuts for new trainer with a lot to contribute. Chance

Going well before faulting in a 2875m Enghien Class E 3 weeks ago. Is patently in fine form and will not be far off the mark if he stays focused

Imposed at Argentan before running 5th of 14 in a 3000m Nantes Class E late-February. Is new to Vincennes but has bags of ability and can play a role if he takes to the new profile

Useful but erratic type making first appearance since finishing last of 10 in a 2650m Marseille-Vivaux Class E in November. Stays shod and best to keep one's powder dry

Quality element that was sanctioned on re-entry in a Class C over course and distance late-February. Seldom disappoints when focused and although preferred barefoot, he can still get a look-in

Superior winner of a 2875m Enghien Class D on 11 March. Is plainly at the top of his game and will be expected to give JE TE CHERCHE (11) a run for his money

Unraced since running 3rd of 14 in a 2875m Enghien Class D last October. Shod for re-entry and not a priority

8th of 11 in a 2550m Reims Class E a fortnight ago. Is not the biggest Vincennes fan but will be barefoot with Benjamin Rochard reining and will have his supporters

Remarkable trotter that just missed out on the hat-trick when 2nd of 14 in a Class C under these conditions late-February. Enjoys a golden entry here and Theo Duvaldestin will be eager to make it pay off

Finished last of 10 in a monte Class A over course and distance on 21 February. Drops in category, races barefoot for the occasion, and considering the entry, is not to be underestimated

Race Overview
An exceptional horse that has yet to be defeated when barefoot, JE TE CHERCHE (11) just missed out on the hat-trick here at the end of February and after a good month to get back in shape, he should take take all the beating. Damien Bonne looks the most likely to thwart Theo Duvaldestin's plan with JANKO HAUFOR (8) who made short work of an Enghien Class D last month. HARRY D'OURVILLE (3) breaks with a 25m head-start and the presence of Eric Raffin in the bike bodes well for his chances. JOKER CASTILUANNE (4) is a tough nut when focused and David Thomain will be eager to put things right.
