A typically competitive Quinte to begin proceedings and a case can be made for most of these. It could however pay to follow (5) DALVINI in his first outing on the surface. He made an eye-catching comeback recently and is open to any amount of improvement. (6) VILARO and (14) FURIOUS DES AIGLES have finished in the money in similar contests recently and are likely to make their presence felt again. (9) NOXARENO faces a tougher task after a last-start success but has won three of his four starts on the fibresand so warrants the utmost respect. Recent scorer (7) DARK SIDE and consistent (12) HEIR TO A THRONE are others in the lineup also worth considering.

A very intriguing newcomers' race. Well-bred Dubawi colt (9) GALAWI and Andre Fabre-trained (2) BRING ON THE NIGHT himself a well-related first-timer have fancy big-race entries in the spring so are obviously highly thought of. Both must be monitored from the outset. (8) ANOTHER SKY (1) CLASSICAL WAVE and (6) GALINELSON are all likely to attract interest too. Fascinating watch!

Tricky. (1) ZIYAD is the class act and sets a lofty standard in this field. He is however untried on the surface and racing over a trip short of his best returning from a break. His class could prevail but any chinks in his armor could be exposed by progressive last-start winner (5) HARMLESS who has both race fitness and form on the PSF in his favor. (2) SOLEIL MARIN also has the credentials to stake a claim in the outcome. Good race!

(2) PETITE FOLIE is closely related to a certain Persian King so expect all eyes to be on this daughter of Australia ahead of her debut. She hails from a formidable yard (Andre Fabre) and will be ridden by top jockey PCB - follow. Well-bred (10) PAPUA is another likely to do well from the outset so must be respected. (4) SPACE RACE and (1) NICE PARTY are on pedigree also capable of playing a role on debut.

Top-rated (7) SPINNING MEMORIES won the 2019 renewal of the Prix de Meautry before taking her place in the Prix de l'Abbaye. She returns from a break but is hard to oppose under these conditions and need not be at her best to make a winning return in receipt of weight from these rivals. On ratings (3) SYRTIS could threaten but last-start winner (2) WE GO may have a say given his fitness esge.

The fitting of headgear to (1) SEA WATCH worked a treat as she easily took out a 1900m contest at this venue last time out. On that evidence the extra 200m is unlikely to trouble her and any improvement under similar conditions should result in another bold bid. Consistent (4) BY THE WAY sets a good standard and will pose a threat. (2) PAPAKURA and (5) LA JAVANAISE are improving last-start winners also capable of getting a look in. (6) MARLENGO and (8) KING OF MY HEART can sneak into the picture too if building on recent seconds.

(1) IMPULSIF won't be at peak fitness on his return from a well-deserved break but is clear of these rivals on official ratings and under these conditions ought to make a winning comeback. (2) SILVER QUARTZ and (3) LUCKY TEAM could be a threat to the selection given their recent form and improved fitness but both have plenty to find at the weights/ratings.

Many with chances in this field. (1) SPECIAL MISSION made a winning start to the year and despite a resultant penalty for that last-start success is likely to make another bold bid. (2) POUVOIR MAGIQUE was disappointing last time but is capable of posing a threat to that rival reverting to the PSF. Hat-trick seeking (3) ANY GUEST warrants obvious respect and (4) LOOK BACK could also have a say if Soumillon can negotiate a wide draw. Veteran (6) PORSENNA can not be discounted either. Good race!
