Vincennes

Unthreatening but encouraging on his first start for 2 months, KENNEDY FRANCE (5) flew up the last time under these conditions and, at this level, can open his 2026 account. KELLER DE L'ITON (2) has done nothing but improve with every run here and, from the 2-spot, represents the main danger. Much improved in his last 2 starts, even though eliminated last time, KOOL DU CHATELET (10) has been handed a tough draw but sports a fresh configuration and, on good behaviour, can trot his way onto the podium. Barefoot following his conditioner here early last month, KING D'HERMES (1) will be barefoot this time and is unlikely to disappoint.
