Friday’s card at Paris-Vincennes is highlighted by two graded events, one being monte, and the day’s Quinte+ event with the jackpot over €3 million.
The classic €120,000 Prix Chambon P starts off the card, a Gr. II international UET Masters Series event with 10 quality starters.
Uhlan du Val is the early choice and will be handled by reinsman Cedrik Megissier. The Prix Lavater for monte specialists is a distance handicap event and the early favored Atlessima starts with a 25 meter penalty. Erik Raffin will be in the irons of Atlessima.
