Handy stayer who has been plain of late including last start when well held over 2000m at this track. Finds a suitable contest this time so expect sharp improvement.

Form of late has been mixed and he tackles this trip for the first time. Finished fifth last time out over 2000m at Fontainebleau, beaten 2 lengths. Not far from the winner last time but this is a tough assignment.

Doesn’t win out of turn and ran below par last time when 13th over 2400m at Toulouse and beaten 20 lengths. Rates highly on his best form and should run well in this company.

Showed good speed last start from gate 12 but weakened late to finish fifth over 2600m at Marseille-Borely. Better than the last run and worth another chance.

Winner two back at Hyeres then repeated the dose last start over 3150m at Lyon-Parilly, getting home by a nose. Among the chances and expected to run well.

Has been out of the money of late including last time out when 12th over 2000m at Chantilly a month ago, beaten 8 lengths. Might struggle again.

Imported five-year-old having first run in this area for the J Lopez Sanchez barn. Not raced since finishing ninth over 3200m at La Zarzuela six-and-a-half months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly for return. Looks tested this line-up.
