| C1 – PRIX DE COURTIEUX – 1800m (a1m1/8) – TURF – Class 2 Race – Flat – EUR € 28,000 |
1. MANDALAY – Was victorious on debut, followed up with a 5th at Deauville over 2000m on the 8th of June and has strong each way claims
2. ZELMAN – Might be able to progress on latest 4th over 1400m on the 18th of August at Lyon Of Angers. Include in larger quartet perms
3. GATSBY WINGS – Lightly raced, placed 2nd over 1800m at Lyon Silk on the 18th of December last year. Will probably need this, and a few more, to tighten up. Pass by
4. BAD DESIRE – Has had only one run here in France thus far, finished 4th in a Listed event over 2400m in Ireland on the 6th of June and might be able to place in this
5. KOVEL – Ignore last run when 7th in a Group 2, finished 2nd over 2000m before that at Lyon Parilly and rates the one to be with. Win
6. QUANTUM – Maxime Guyon rides, finished 4th over 2400m at Lyon Parilly on the 23rd of June and can get much closer. Place chance
7. ZANZIA – Won at this track over 2000m on the 22nd of July and might be able to follow up but do far prefer others. Small place chance at best
8. DAZZLING JEWEL – Placed 5th over 1900m in a Handicap at Deauville on the 30th of July and has fair overall form. Good chance
9. ICON CEN – Was a winner first up over 1800m at Dieppe on the 29th of July and could be anything. Can follow up. Big chance
Summary: KOVEL (5) is lightly raced and was seen in a Group 2 field last time. Ignore that, and judge on earlier good form. He is the one they all have to fear the most. MANDALAY (1) won on debut over 1800m at Clairefontaine and followed up with an encouraging 5th at Deauville. He surely has plenty more to offer and has to be taken seriously. DAZZLING JEWEL (8) runs for Godolphin and has already recorded two victories locally. Big runner. ICON CEN (9) was an impressive winner on debut and could be absolutely anything. Bright chance.

1. STORIA DI ROMA – Has only managed two 7th places and will need to serve up much more than that to threaten. Far prefer others for the shortlist. No
2. EL CHIRIPA – Would be a shock winner based on what we have seen thus far. Finished only 6th and 8th respectively and can be ignored from all bets. No
3. HAZA – Has not shone in two races thus far and will need serious improvement to threaten. Happy to pass by
4. DUTY – Finished a fair 5th on debut over 1500m at Deauville on the 28th of July and will need to do way more than that to feature. No
5. PRECIOSO – Expect plenty improvement on debut 7th over 1400m at Vichy on the 15th of July and can finish in the first three. Respect and include
6. NAKED MEMORIES – Showed good improvement at the second time of asking when 2nd over 1400m at Saint-Cloud on the 11th of June and could be hard to beat. Strong first choice
7. YOUNG AND PROUD – Was victorious at Vichy four races back and has been holding solid form since. Finished 2nd over 1600m at Vichy last time. Strong claims
8. CACOFONIX – Caught the eye when finishing 3rd over 1400m at Deauville on the 6th of this month and can get much closer today. Strong each way chance
Summary: NAKED MEMORIES (6) showed encouraging progression from run one, to run two, when placing 2nd over 1400m at Saint-Cloud on the 11th of June, and with expected, further improvement, could be hard to peg back. Strong win choice. CACOFONIX (8) has caught the eye in both his races thus far and can be expected to go close today. Big danger to the first choice. YOUNG AND PROUD (7) was a winner four starts back and has been consistent ever since. He has each way claims, but with a much brighter chance of placing. PRECIOSO (5) has tons of scope to build on his debut 7th at Vichy. Respect and include.

1. BELLA INDIA – Ran an encouraging race first up when 2nd over 1500m at Deauville on the 28th of July and can go one better. Strong each way chance
2. IFFROCTA FAL – Will need to improve many lengths on debut 9th for the victory today and therefore far prefer others. Pass by and exclude from all bets
3. ASTRAL WAY – Has finished 3rd in both races thus far and has plenty scope to do way better and can go close to getting it all right. Big runner
4. RUCHBAH – Finished 2nd over 1600m at Deauville on the 10th of August and can go one more. Strong first suggestion. Win
5. MAMINOA – Was 2nd on debut over 1400m at Lion D’Angers on the 4th of August and can give plenty cheek to the top ones. Obviously has a bright chance. Include
6. ETOILE GRISE – Has shown very little in all four starts and would therefore be a shock winner. Unlikely. No. Pass by
7. PINKY CEN – Has scope to build on debut 5th at Chantilly over 1000m. An outsider that could get into the action. Small place chance
8. FILE INDIENNE – A daughter of U S Navy Flag that could be absolutely anything but watch the betting for more of an idea. Might need a few runs to tighten up. Pass by for now
9. AFTER DARK – A daughter of Persian King out of a mare that won one race. Watch the betting trends as race time looms but do prefer others this time
Summary: RUCHBAH (4) ran an absolute cracker first time out when 2nd over 1600m at Deauville earlier this month. She should have progressed naturally from that and rates a hard horse to oppose. Possible banker for all bets. BELLA INDIA (1) also caught the attention on debut by also running up 2nd, but over 1500m at Deauville. Expect plenty more from this daughter of Goken. ASTRAL WAY (3) has finished 3rd in both races and can now get much, much closer. Strong place chance. She deserves plenty respect. MAMINOA (5) ran well on debut and is confidently selected to finish in the first four.

1. SUPER BUDDY – Makes local debut, has been racing in Germany where finishing 2nd, 1st and 2nd respectively. Huge runner if taking to the course. An outsider with a chance
2. REVERSO – Was a winner at Cagnes-Sur-Mer over 1500m in penultimate run but followed up with a dismal 7th over 1200m. Can do way better and has a chance
3. KALEOCREEK – Current form has been on the decline over various distances and is therefore hard to make a case for. Happy to ignore. No
4. UNE PEINTURE – Placed 4th over 1600m in a claimer at Clairefontaine on the 2nd of this month. Strong each way chance
5. TERESA MENDOZA – Ignore last run when 11th over 1400m at Clairefontaine earlier this month and can be judged on penultimate 4th place. Outside chance
6. ROGUE ENFORCER – Has been running in Great Britian recently and will need to improve a ton for the win this time. Has shown some ability before but is hard to assess. Pass by
7. NICE DREAM – Has been running in stronger races than this, finished 7th over 1500m at Deauville in a Handicap. Could improve to place and represent some value
8. TARNAC – Has been running in competitive races recently but finishing way downfield which makes her hard to assess but better can be expected from her. Chance
9. GENTILESCHI – Is a tad erratic and will need to build on latest downfield finish over 1800m in Ireland and is therefore hard to fancy. Unlikely. Pass by
10. ANTICO – Won over 1300m at Chantilly three races back but has been disappointing since. Will need to improve on current form to threaten but the field is weak. Place chance
11. VICE CAPTAIN – Is holding form, was a winner three runs back and finished 2nd over 1600m at Vichy last time in a similar class. Can go one more. Big runner
12. BATESCA – Finished 5th over 1400m at Dieppe on the 5th of August in a weak claiming race and can finish in the first four based on best form. Include
Summary: UNE PEINTURE (4) has won once from twelve starts and is always there and thereabouts at the finish. He was 4th over 1600m last time in a similar field and can go close. Strong each way claims. VICE CAPTAIN (11) is lightly raced compared to the others and seems talented and competitive in this grade. He can win. TARNAC (8) was a winner on debut but has disappointed thereafter. She might be able to improve to find a place position in this. REVERSO (2) is worth considering for all bet types as he was a winner at the penultimate and can do way better than his recent 7th. Chance.

2. MOON RIDER – Finished 7th over 1300m at Deauville in a Class 3 divided handicap on the 20th of August 2024. Hard to fancy
3. AUTUMN TWILIGHT – Well beaten in 13th spot over 1600m at Compiegne in a Class 3 divided limited handicap on the 26th of May 2024. Unlikely to mount a challenge

16. LES TROIS VALLEES – Ran a fair race in 5th spot over 1300m at Deauville in a Class 3 divided handicap on the 20th of August 2024. Each way chance
Summary: IRBIS (6) has been holding form very well and looks poised for another big performance. He could find the drop in trip to his liking and can go one better. HEATHERWOOD (1) won a nice race last time out and a repeat performance will see him fighting out the finish. FASTER (11) comes in with a nice handy weight and could be competitive off his current mark. TOPINAMBUR (10) bounced back to form with a pleasing effort and if confirming, he could be in the mix.

Summary: KAVAKNEY (13) has had to settle for the second box at his last two outings but could go one better with a light weight on his back. OCTOBER CHOPE (10) has been in the money recently and should continue in that vein of form. HIS PRIDE (9) isn’t the most reliable sort but is capable of posing a threat in this company. TRUST ON ME (5) returned to form with two solid efforts and should run a forward race.

Summary: MIZ VEGA (4) showed lots of heart to fight off the challenges and get her head in front last time out. With her confidence restored, she will run a big race. KING TREZY (1) was a deserving winner of his most recent effort and can certainly repeat the dose with a bit of luck on his side. MASAIYA (14) has improved with each run in France and should be involved once again. O’WOOD (7) has been a model of consistency and will make his presence felt.

Summary: RUE CUSTINE (8) arrives in consistent hard knocking form and will be a deserving winner in this event. KELBOFRER (7) goes handicapping which could be exactly what he requires and he could be a big player for top honors. IRTYCH (12) is in the right type of form at present and will be challenger with a light weight. QUEENFLEUR (4) is seldom far off the action and could get involved.

| C1 – PRIX DE SAINT-GALMIER – 2850m (a2m) – Class F Amateur Drivers Race – Harness – EUR € 12,000 |
1. IBANA DE MONTI – 2nd of 11 in a 3450m Agon-Coutainville amateurs Class H 10 days ago. Pitted against better this time and will be able to hold her own if she can stay in stride
2. FEO TRAFO – Consistently performant Belgian trotter making French debut off the back of a 2840m Mons victory and will be expected to give this a good go from the front row
3. ILLINOIS – A veritable metronome since mid-June, winning 4 of 6, latterly a 2650m Portbail amateurs Class H 2.5 weeks ago, and although unlikely to impose, can still pick up a first-5 payout
4. INDY DE LA FYE – Made it 2 in a row when successful in a 2750m Class H at La Ferté-Vidame 10 days ago. Incurs no handicap this time and will be competitive for a place in the frame
5. IQUITO PLANCHETTE – Has taken to the amateur division like a duck to water, most recently completing the hat-trick over course and distance a week ago, and in similar form can make this his own
6. HEMILIO PIERJI – Has failed to reassure in the professional ranks, most recently sanctioned in a 2750m Cabourg Class E earlier this month. Boasts fine amateur credentials though and can return to productive ways
7. HELIOT DE GACHERE – Returns to a proven configuration after coming 2nd of 10 in a 2400m Beaupréau Class H last Sunday. Untried in the amateur category but, in current shape, is not to be overlooked
8. GALON D’AMIRAL – Unexceptional 6th of 9 in a 3025m Class F at Montier-en-Der 10 days ago and appears to have nothing going for him here either
9. GREAT DANCER – Complemented his Vincennes success with 2nd of 14 in a 2950m Saint-Malo Class G on 12 July. Comes here fresh and looks main threat to IQUITO PLANCHETTE (5)
10. FARCEUSE DU PRE – Last but one in an amateurs Class F over course and distance last week and is unlikely to improve on that
11. GLOIRE DE FLEURY – 6th of 12 in a 2650m Class E at Divonne-les-Bains earlier in the month. Has won twice at this level here but present form does little to inspire confidence
12. GANYMEDE DE DUSSAC – Disappointing in last 2, latterly 8th of 11 in a 2725m Pornichet Class F last week, and can be confidently passed over
Summary: Simply excellent in his last 3 starts, IQUITO PLANCHETTE (5) completed the hat-trick in style here a week ago and should be able to wrap this up. GREAT DANCER (9) did however win over shorter here on his penultimate start and returns to the venue with a good hand to play. HEMILIO PIERJI (6) pulled off 4 straight amateur successes during the spring and, if focused, can again figure prominently. INDY DE LA FYE (4) has been in cracking shape all summer and even though in better company this time, he benefits from a front-row break and must be taken seriously.

1. JERBA – Back in the claiming category after faulting in a 2850m Class F at Bagnoles-de-l’Orne last Sunday. Is confirmed at this level, races shod and, with application, could pleasantly surprise
2. JULIO MANNETOT – Sanctioned in last 3, latterly a 2400m Beaupréau monté Class F last Saturday, and backs up barefoot with limited prospects
3. JERO DE PHYT’S – Returns to a category he appreciates after coming 6th of 11 in a 2675m Class E at Le Mont-Saint-Michel 10 days ago. Is new to Vincennes but with Anthony Barrier’s guidance, can finish in the mix
4. KALINA STAR – Sanctioned in a 2100m claimer here last weekend. Shoes back on and is unlikely to generate much interest
5. JAGUAR DU DOLLAR – Useful type that finished 3rd, a place behind JULIO DES LANDES (10), in a 2725m Cabourg claimer last week. Matthieu Abrivard reining this time and is unlikely to be going home empty-handed
6. JOKER DES ISLES – Unraced since faulting in a 2450m Caen monté Class E on 20 June. Here for reasons of conditioning and can be passed over
7. JUSTE D’UN JOUR – Won 3 straight at the start of the summer but off the boil since, most recently sanctioned in a 2875m Carentan claimer a fortnight ago. New configuration but others still easier to back
8. JET DE CANVILLE – 3rd behind JACOVIA MADRIK (15) at Enghien before coming 6th of 13 in a 3150m Abbeville Class H 2.5 weeks ago. Unlikely to spring a surprise but is shod to preference and can get a look-in
9. JUMACHA – Takes her chances, for just the 2nd time, in the claiming division after finishing a modest 6th of 11 in a 2900m Arras Class F 10 days ago. Has merit but other better options available
10. JULIO DES LANDES – Got back in the game when just pipped in a 2725m Cabourg claimer last week. Same configuration this time and will be no pushover if he takes to the new conditions
11. JOPANI – Unplaced in last 4, latterly 6th of 11 in a 2650m Portbail Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Front pads fitted this time and will struggle to make his presence felt
12. JAPPELOUP CARNOIS – First time barefoot for claiming debut after trotting 5th of 9 in a 2475m Francheville Class F a fortnight ago, and from the front row, can play a leading role
13. JAPON YAMM – Disappointing at all levels this year, most recently 7th of 9, on comeback, in a 2700m Vittel Class F a month ago. On back line here and chances slim
14. JULY DU GUESNE – Sanctioned in a 2650m claimer at Le Sap 2.5 weeks ago. Has been enduring a rough season and can be ruled out
15. JACOVIA MADRIK – Runner-up in an Enghien claimer late-July before finishing 3rd of 11 in a 3450m Class F at Agon-Coutainville 10 days ago, and even from the 2nd row, will have her chances
16. JEMILLIA BELLA – Unraced since coming 9th of 11 in a 2100m claimer here mid-January, and can be confidently passed over
17. JOKER MADRIK – 4th of 14 in a 2150m Cagnes Class D a month ago. Has twice come close at this level, including over course and distance, and can impose this time
Summary: Runner-up in a pair of claimers here in June, JOKER MADRIK (17) showed his form in better company last time out and looks a marginally better choice than newly-barefoot stablemate JAPPELOUP CARNOIS (12) who breaks with a 25m head-start. JERO DE PHYT’S (3) returns to a category in which he has proven form, while JULIO DES LANDES (10) just recently left his mark in a Cabourg claimer.

1. LIBERTY DELO – Qualified without fanfare at Caen 3 months ago. Alexis Collette onboard for career debut but still no more than a minor place prospect
2. LA STORIA – Left a good impression when 3rd of 10 on monté debut in a 2700m Graignes Class F last week. Makes Paris debut with morale intact and will have her chances if she takes to the new conditions
3. L’AMIE JOSSELYN – Won at Cagnes under harness just over a month ago but sanctioned in next 2, latterly a 2125m Class E at Grenade-sur-Garonne a fortnight back. Entrusted to a capable jockey and can make her monté debut a winning one
4. LOZEN DE BANVILLE – Back under the saddle after trotting 8th of 9 in a 2150m Enghien claimer 12 days ago. Has placed just once in 3 ridden starts and, even sporting 4 pads, will have more to find
5. LISBONNE DRY – Takes first competitive steps under the saddle after faulting in a 2875m Enghien harness Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Has evident ability and, with application, can play a major role
6. LEGENDE DU BOULAY – Returns to the monté discipline after coming last but one in a 2750m Cabourg claimer 3 weeks ago and is unlikely to spring any surprises
7. LAGERTHA AULNAIES – Failed to confirm her Biarritz performance when last of 8 in 31 July race of reference but should logically show a better side if Pierre Geray assures her initial strides
8. LOUMA DE MALOU – Well-beaten 4th of 8 finishers in a 2250m Enghien Class E late last month but has a better entry here and can win this
Summary: A different horse since switching to the monté discipline, LOUMA DE MALOU (8) finds herself in less-exalted company this time and can get that maiden monkey off her back. She will still face significant resistance from the tricky but capable monté debutante LISBONNE DRY (5) who faulted across town earlier in the month, and the capricious L’AMIE JOSSELYN (3) who has the capacity to go close provided Nathalie Henry can keep her in stride from one end of the race to the other.

1. MILLIONDOLLARSBABY – Well-related filly that qualified in 1’19″0 at Laval late-May. Is well-regarded at home and can make a big splash
2. MOUNTAIN – Well-related filly that faulted in a 2150m Class E at Les Sables-d’Olonne on 9 August first time out. Not a priority but worth monitoring all the same
3. MY QUALITA PIYA – Qualified nicely late-June before faulting when en route to victory on debut in a 2250m Enghien Class C earlier in the month but, with application, can make this her own
4. MAROUBRA – Sanctioned first time out before coming last but one in a 2150m Enghien Class D a month back, and has no possible chance
5. MUSCADE LEMAN – Steps up in category after coming 3rd of 8 on debut in a 2300m Class G at Montier-en-Der 10 days ago, but appears to be biting off more than she can chew
6. MEDEE DU CONROY – Looked very ordinary when last of 8 in a 2150m Class D at Les Sables-d’Olonne a week ago, and can be passed over
7. MOONLIGHT SHADOW – Progressive sort that made up for her debut sanction when 3rd of 8 in a 2050m Cabourg Class E a fortnight ago. Will have come on for the run and looks a decent first-5 chance on Vincennes debut
8. MORALITY – Finished close 2nd of 9 in a 2250m Enghien Class D on debut late-July. Has had time to recuperate and makes Vincennes bow with a good hand to play
9. MARINA ELLIS – Won at Carentan on debut before trotting 4th of 5 finishers in Enghien race of reference, and will need to find more
10. MISS JENILOU – 3rd of 5 finishers in a 2250m Enghien Class C 3 weeks ago. Always gives her best and with a top pilot reining, is not to be underestimated
Summary: MY QUALITA PIYA (3) was unlucky not to win at the first time of asking; David Thomain takes over in the bike and can set the record straight. The smartly-bred MILLIONDOLLARSBABY (1) looked very professional in qualification and can get straight down to business, as can MORALITY (8) who did everything right at Enghien, first time out. MISS JENILOU (10) is clearly close to her race and the engagement of Alexandre Abrivard will do her prospects no disservice.

1. LA GARBO – Sanctioned in first 3 before storming up in a 2650m Class G at Les Sables-d’Olonne on 9 August. Alexandre Abrivard reining this time and must be considered a contender
2. L’HAVANA D’ELMA – Had been progressing nicely when sanctioned in a 2700m Class E at La Capelle a month ago. Not a priority but with Paul Ploquin reining will be afforded every chance
3. LONG ISLAND – Makes Vincennes debut after running 4th of 8 in a 2875m Enghien Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Can prove a handful but on good behaviour should not be far off the mark
4. L’ETOILE DE ROCHE – Consistent filly that came 3rd of 7 finishers in a 2750m Cabourg Class E 3 weeks ago. Front pads fitted for metropolitan debut and is worth retaining for a minor place cheque
5. LADY DADA – Made it 2 for 2 when successful in a 2950m Le Mans Class F mid-July. Steps up in category but should nevertheless have the wherewithal to give LAROZE DU GERS (10) a run for her money
6. LOULIANA DE VANDEL – 5th of 8, a place behind LONG ISLAND (3), in a 2875m Enghien Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Front pads fitted this time but others still preferred
7. LISA MONA BLUE – Unthreatening 5th of 9 in a 2775m Class D at Les Sables-d’Olonne in early-August, and is not about to shake things up
8. LA BELLE VIE – Runner-up in 2 before faulting early in a 2750m Cabourg Class D last week and Jean-Philippe Dubois will be loathe to allow the same thing to happen again. Place chance
9. LUNA D’ARNHEM – Proven under these conditions but most recent 7th of 14 in a 2150m Enghien Class D mid-month does nothing to inspire confidence
10. LAROZE DU GERS – 7th of 8, on comeback, in a 2500m Class D at La Rochelle 3 weeks ago. Has had time to come on and, if fully-fit, can bring home the bacon
11. LUNE DE L’EMION – Pleased at Cabourg before faulting in a 2950m Saint-Malo Class D 3 weeks ago. Not a priority but, with application, can get a look-in
12. LA GUARDIA – Won a Feurs Class E before coming 11th of 14 in a 2150m Enghien Class D mid-month and will have few takers
Summary: Unbeaten in her 2 spring starts, LAROZE DU GERS (10) should be race-fit after her re-entry at La Rochelle and can get straight back to victorious ways. She will still come under pressure from the unbeaten LADY DADA (5) who is not incapable of securing the hat-trick, and the tricky LA GARBO (1) who got off the mark at Les Sables-d’Olonne earlier this month. The useful LA BELLE VIE (8) returns to racing left-handed after faulting at Cabourg but will be dangerous if Jean-Philippe Dubois gets her off on the right foot.

1. LITTLEKING FOXGLEN – 7th of 11, behind LIVE TO TELL (9), in a 2750m Cabourg Class D mid-month. Capable on a good day but others easier to trust
2. LAGO DE PERVENCHE – Progressive sort with an untapped well of talent. Makes left-handed debut on a hat-trick and looks thoroughly capable of pulling it off
3. LE BOSS DANOVER – Reassuring 3rd of 8 finishers in a 2150m Argentan Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Will not be losing his maiden tag here but should nevertheless acquit himself honourably
4. LUCAS D’AVRIL – Unremarkable colt that finished last but one in a 2750m Cabourg Class D mid-month and will have nothing to offer
5. LAMKELZE DE NIEL – Not the easiest of horses to handle but got off the mark in good order a month ago, winning a 2750m Class E at La Capelle. Steps up in category but still looks up to the task of making first 5
6. LISKI DE LA CRIERE – Sanctioned in a 2150m Biarritz Class D early last month. Looks to have better prospects in the other code and will have few friends
7. L’ARGENTIER – Showed early promise but disappointing of late, latterly sanctioned in a 2150m Enghien Class D 2 weeks ago, and must first get his house in order
8. LUXURIO VICI – Failed to confirm his Langon success when last but one in a 2700m Class B at Grenade-sur-Garonne mid-month and will have little to contribute
9. LIVE TO TELL – Put away after opening his account 5 months ago and pleasant 4th of 11 on comeback in a 2750m Cabourg Class D 12 days ago. Will have progressed for the run and can challenge for a place in the frame this time
10. LUCKY DE CALVI – Got back in the game a month ago when securing a 2600m Montignac Class E but is unlikely to cause an upset here
11. LOOK REBEL – Made it 2 in a row when winning a 2875m Meslay Class E, with authority, 2 weeks ago, and with Gabi Gelormini reining again, will be no easy touch
12. LAST MAN – Took his game to a new level earlier in the month after making short work of a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E and, in similar form, can repeat
13. LUCKY DE MAC – One-paced 6th of 8 in a 2500m Class D at La Rochelle 3 weeks ago, and tackles the Vincennes main track for the first time, with limited prospects
Summary: Unopposed in either start to date, LAGO DE PERVENCHE (2) is plainly a colt for the future and can win this if he takes to the new profile. That said, LAST MAN (12) has turned a corner over recent weeks and Mathieu Mottier will be out to secure the double. LOOK REBEL (11) makes his Vincennes debut on a hat-trick and even though in better company this time, still looks a player. LIVE TO TELL (9) made an encouraging return to the track and will be competitive.

1. KERENE MIXO – Has merit but not the most dependable, latterly 6th of 8 in 11 August race of reference, and chances appear limited
2. KIARA D’ECOTAY – Was going well when sanctioned in a 2950m Saint-Malo Class F 2 weeks ago. Sports modified shoeing and could pleasantly surprise
3. KOH SAMUI BOND – Sanctioned when never dangerous in a 2875m Enghien Class E early-August. Makes just 2nd appearance under the saddle but has previously won for Alexandre Abrivard and, with hind shoes off, will have her supporters
4. KOOKIE DE BELLANDE – Has demonstrated good aptitude for the discipline, most recently coming 3rd of 7 in a 2750m Cabourg Class E in early-August. Is not about to cause an upset but still has the capacity to trot into the money
5. KATCHINA FOR CLARA – 2nd of 9 finishers in a 2950m Saint-Malo Class F 2 weeks ago on first start for new team. Mathieu Mottier onboard again and will be no soft touch
6. KEVA MADRIK – Returns to racing barefoot after faulting in Enghien race of reference but is unlikely to spring any surprises
7. KANDICE DU LOISIR – Last of 8 behind KISS AND FORGET (12) in a 2250m Enghien Class D 2.5 weeks ago and can expect to remain friendless in the markets
8. KALY D’EOLE – Sanctioned in a 2875m Enghien Class D mid-month. Has placed just once in 9 starts under the saddle and can be ruled out
9. KILIA PETTEVINIERE – Sanctioned in last 2, most recently a 2875m Enghien Class D mid-month. Sports a new configuration for the occasion and, if focused, can get in on the action
10. KALINE DE VIVOIN – Complicated but talented filly that came 5th of 8 in a 2875m Enghien Class D on first ridden start back. Is in competition-mode this time and should be good enough to trot her way onto the podium
11. KANDISSIME – Put a quartet of sanctions behind her when 3rd to KISS AND FORGET (12) in a 2250m Enghien Class D earlier this month and, with application, can confirm
12. KISS AND FORGET – Has not put a foot wrong since switching codes, most recently beaten by little in a 2250m Enghien Class D 2.5 weeks ago, and looks every part the horse to beat this time
Summary: After having shown considerable ability under harness, KISS AND FORGET (12) was switched to the monté code mid-June and hasn’t looked back since. Third to her at Enghien, KANDISSIME (11) will not be far off the mark if she stays in stride, but may first have to defer to KALINE DE VIVOIN (10) who is fitted with front pads for her first objective of the summer, and KATCHINA FOR CLARA (5) who reassured at Saint-Malo for her new trainer recently.

1. KAPTAIN DE CRISTAL – Disappointing 7th of 10 in a 2400m Amiens Class E on 1 August. Goes barefoot this time but has no love for Vincennes and poses no threat
2. KILLER BECO – Gave a reassuringly-good account when 2nd of 13 in a 2800m Castéra-Verduzan Class E on 12 August but faces a much stiffer test this time
3. KRYSTAL PALACE – Comported himself well after being sanctioned in a 2100m Class D here a week ago. In superior company this time around though and cannot be considered a priority
4. KING TURGOT – Has twice failed to confirm his Mauquenchy victory, latterly last but one in a 2100m Class D here last week, and can be passed over
5. KRONOS ZEN – Sanctioned when full of running in a 2750m Cabourg Class E late last month and, on better behaviour, will be competitive for a place in the frame
6. KOZMIC BLUES – Won his second of the summer when flying up in a 2700m Graignes Class F last week. Takes on better this time but has 4 pads fitted and will be worth watching
7. KOQUIN D’AMOUR – Unlucky 2nd of 6 in a 2500m Class E at La Rochelle 3 weeks ago. Is confirmed over the Vincennes main track and looks a player once more
8. KHOR SAINT AUBIN – 4th of 10 in a 2850m Carentan Class D mid-month. Barefoot for Vincennes debut and will not be far from the action if he takes to the new profile
9. KOOL LUDOIS – Made it 2 in a row when successful in a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine Class E 2 weeks ago and a similar performance could yet see him double up
10. KURAPIKA DU PONT – 7th of 12 in a 2850m Meslay-du-Maine Class B late last month. Drops in category but still looks to have too much to do
11. KING SUN DRALIAM – 2nd of 10 in a 2150m Enghien Class E mid-month. Shod similarly this time and has every chance of opening his 2024 account
12. KARAMEL JOYEUX – Lost his maiden status [at 23rd time of asking] in a 3000m Class E at Rochefort-sur-Loire 3.5 weeks ago. Has no particular love for Vincennes but in current condition is easy to like
Summary: KING SUN DRALIAM (11) has come on superbly this season and, beaten only by a very good colt last time out, looks good enough to impose. Matthieu Abrivard will still be keeping a keen eye on KOOL LUDOIS (9) who has never been in better shape, and main-track-confirmed KOQUIN D’AMOUR (7) who is plainly close to his race. Although sanctioned at Cabourg a month back, KRONOS ZEN (5) nonetheless showed his form and will be expected to figure prominently if Charles Dreux keeps him trotting.

5. JUSTIN DES MARAIS – Very unreliable of late and was disqualified last time out at Cabourg on 26 July. Capable of a surprise when wise

IPIPOURAX PAULOIS (4) has also been in very good form this year and should be a real threat. JUTONNIERE (6) is yet another in very good shape and she would also not be a surprise winner. JAGUAR DE KARA (11) was in good form before faulting last time out and deserves some respect.

KORALINE DU LUPIN (8) is well placed at the start and can make the frame.
