The final entries for the 2016 Opodo Prix d\u2019Am\u00e9rique were recorded by LeTROT today (Wednesday 27th), revealing 20 potential contenders. There were no particular surprises for the key players, and the top five favourites have been confirmed by connections: titleholder Up And Quick<\/strong>, Vincennes\u2019 latest star Bold Eagle<\/strong>, Norway\u2019s Lionel<\/strong>, 2015 runner-up Voltigeur de Myrt<\/strong> and evergreen Timoko<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The most notable withdrawal concerns last year\u2019s fourth Uhlan du Val<\/strong>, whose trainer C\u00e9dric M\u00e9gissier considers he is not in the best of form.
