Has struggled to make his mark of late, the most recent effort a eighth over 2000m at Saint-Cloud three-and-a-half weeks ago. Ridden last time by a claiming apprentice, replaced for this assignment by a senior rider.

Stepping out at this circuit for the first time. Last appeared when he finished third over 2700m at Chantilly All Weather on February 25. Has the right credentials.

Resumed from a spell last start with a win by a head over 2100m at Senonnes-Pouancé. Harder here though and may struggle.

Last appeared five months ago when he finished 2.5 lengths from the winner in fourth over 2400m at Salon-de-Provence. Won first-up last prep at Strasbourg over 2000m. Expecting a bright start to the campaign.

Finished tenth last start over 2000m at Saint-Cloud and is now 417 days without a win. Happy to overlook.

Not a prolific winner with just one win from 10 starts. Finally off the mark last time with maiden success over 2600m at Fontainebleau. Looks suitably placed here and expected to be in the finish again.

Has not raced since finishing eighth over 2500m at Deauville All Weather on January 29. Expected to run well.

Well into her prep now. Came from a wide gate and could only manage to finish eighth last time out over 2400m at Compiegne.

Stepping up in trip after finishing sixth over 2000m at Saint-Cloud last time out. In the right race this time and is definitely worth including.

Did well to finish a long neck away in second when resuming over 2100m at Tarbes on April 5 last start. Good return but looks safely held.

Improved sharply last start at second run of the prep, finishing 0.9 lengths away in third over 2400m at Nantes. Facing a tough assignment.

Settled back last start then made a sustained run to finish second over 2000m at Saint-Cloud. Will appreciate the extra ground this time. Sure to go well.

Stepping up in trip after finishing eighth over 2200m at Fontainebleau last time out. Can improve and is a top-three contender.

Maiden galloper in first campaign. Has been out of the money recently including last start when seventh over 2400m at Saint-Cloud six weeks ago, beaten 8 lengths. Might struggle again.
