Good race and typically competitive Quinte to start proceedings which hat-trick seeking (5) DESIR DU BOIS is likely to fight out with (13) ELSA DE BELFONDS who has won two similar contests recently to complete a hat-trick of her own.

Several with chances in this big field. Regular at this level since the start of winter (7) GAGNANT GEMA should have a leading role to play without his irons.(10) GAGNANT DE BRIKVIL however need only maintain his stride to challenge for honours after a recent sanction. Second-row starters (14) GABY STAR and (13) GUIBSON DU SOLNAN are capable of having a say though as is (6) GO FAST TEJY under these conditions.

A magnificent duel awaits between two last-start winners who have their lowered at this level of competition. Both (6) ELMAGNIFICO DE LOU and (11) EL PRESIDENTE are likely to feature prominently but making a choice between the two is not easy. Versatile (10) ENCANTO has the credentials to pose a threat. Consistent rivals (15) EAGLE EYES and (8) EXCEPTIONAL DREAM also have claims.

Wide open. (5) EDEN BASQUE has maintained consistency this year and in current form is likely to challenge for a spot on the podium though may need to raise his game slightly to emerge victorious and get the better of (4) DEFI THE BEST who is should play a leading role too if building on a pleasing last-start 4th. (14) CIMARRON remains hard to win with but has the means to add to his tally in this company. (13) BEBE DU BEAUVOISIN has the form and ability to also play a role in the outcome.

Undefeated on the Cote-d'Azur (9) GOOD MORNING is the logical favorite in this and discovers a great opportunity to complete his hat-trick if able to negotiate the last corner well. He will however have to beware (6) GARNEMENT ROYAL who was runner-up last time out and now races barefoot for the first time. (8) GIVE ME CASH made a splash here recently and is another who could have an important role to play.
