Form Snapshot: Useful on a good day but faces a stiff test on his Vincennes bow and is not about to set off any fireworks
3 21:33 Vincennes (France) 29 May 2026
Prix Klotho - Attele (5YO to 6YO)
1m 5f 92y Standard
Form Snapshot: Returns to Vincennes after having run 2nd over 2140m on re-entry at Halmstad 3.5 weeks ago. Faces a tougher bunch here though and even with Alexandre Abrivard reining is unlikely to spice things up
Form Snapshot: Serious trotter with a pair of return runs under his belt since the spell. Presents fine Vincennes references and is easy to like for a first-5 payout
Form Snapshot: Hardy element that secured victory in a 2100m Class D here a week ago, on first start at the venue. Mathieu Mottier reins this time and must be respected
Form Snapshot: Eliminated as often as not since coming to France but has nevertheless been in fine shape. Would have picked up a cheque here earlier in the month had he stayed in stride, and is worth monitoring
Form Snapshot: Has merit but has struggled to make his presence felt lately and can be ruled out
Form Snapshot: Has a particular liking for 2700m here, even though eliminated last January. Takes a notable dip in category and can get back in the game
Form Snapshot: Took some time to get back down to business after having missed all of 2025, latterly commanding winner of a 2100m Class D here a month ago, and steps up in category with every chance of confirming
Form Snapshot: Lost her way earlier in the year but defied her odds when 2nd in a Class C under these conditions on 13 May, and looks a more serious proposition this time around
Form Snapshot: Has done everything asked of him since moving to the Guarato stable, latterly 4th in a Class E under these conditions on 6 May. Returns to the venue with morale intact and can make the frame this time
Form Snapshot: Has looked very ordinary since coming south and can expect to have few friends
Form Snapshot: Capable mare starting for the first time since late-January and is going to need the race
Form Snapshot: Makes the long trip to Paris after producing some fine performances in the south of the country. Has placed just twice in 5 starts over course and distance though and others easier to back
Form Snapshot: Moderate Swedish import that has yet to deliver in France. Returns from a 4 months layoff and is not about to influence the outcome
Form Snapshot: Good, consistent trotter returning to racing left-handed after running 5th in a Vichy Class B 2.5 weeks ago. Has nothing to prove over 2700m here and, considering the entry, should not be overlooked
Form Snapshot: Pleased in both starts since returning to competition, and has form over 2700m. Is ideally-engaged but chances still appear slim
Verdict
Enjoying something of a renaissance since starting to race competitively-shod, LE GRAAL (8) dominated a Class D here a month back and, sporting a fresh configuration this time, will be expected to repeat. He nonetheless faces stiff opposition from ELTYME (9) who was beaten only by a very good horse here recently, and ENEA FONT (10) whose return to France has proved profitable. Considerably better than recent figures would suggest, FORCE OF NATURE (7) is not to be underestimated.
