Vincennes

Simply superb in this branch of the business, LIONHEART (10 ) was forced to watch London secure the Gr.2 Prix Paul Bastard earlier this month but he will race barefoot this time and is going to take all the beating. Eric Raffin will still want to be wary of the tricky but immensely talented KAPAULA DE L'EPINE (11) who lifted the Gr.1 Prix de l'Ile-de-France earlier in the month. Although eliminated that day, KYT KAT (12) is very much at home over 2175m and, if applied, can fill a step on the podium. Runner-up to the favourite in the Gr.2 Prix Camille Blaisot late last month, LISBONNE DRY (7) returns to racing barefoot and must be taken more seriously this time.
