Vincennes

Although complicated, MISTER DU LOISIR (8) showed considerable promise under the saddle last season and finally came good on New Year's Day with a tenacious performance under Alexis Collette. Barefoot again, he has a reasonable chance of repeating, but will be up against the lightly-raced MILORD DES ARRIS (4) whose monte debut was particularly eye-catching. MY LOVE D'AR (5) is not the easiest to use either, and has not been seen out since imposing at Caen in September, but will have been prepared for this and looks competitive. MAGIC DIGEO (1) will be partnered by Eric Raffin for his ridden bow and is unlikely to disappoint.
