DREAM INDEX (6) hasn't particularly set the tracks alight but hails from a strong yard and can show vast improvement in this. BREIZHY BOY (1) ran a cracker on debut and should be a lot wiser for task at hand. He will be a big player for top honors. SHAMAKI (10) is nicely bred and needs to be respected for a powerful yard. HERACLES (7) can take a step forward from his debut effort.

CHANTAL (2) ran with plenty of promise on debut and would have tightened up a significant amount which will hold her in good stead for this outing. She now gets the services of Maxime Guyon and she should go close. HAPPY HOURS (1) finished right behind the top pick on debut and is another who should have more to offer at the second time of asking. CAPE JEWEL (11) is a very nicely bred debutant who could strike and needs to be followed. MISTY QUALITY (5) should have come on with that experience under her belt and could earn.

In a race that isn't going to take a great deal of winning, FELICIA STORM (4) could come out on top. She produced her best effort two starts back and now drops into a claiming race where she is well treated. KING RETURN (2) has run in some stronger races in the past so could enjoy being in calmer waters which could yield in him showing up positively. BOMBONERA (6) is the only one to have tasted success in this field which could aid her in the business end of proceedings. She is capable of a lot more than what she is producing. LAHOMI (9) runs a good race every now and then and isn't one to ignore for minor positions.

CAMBRONNE (3) is a talented sort that has done extremely well in his career and will appreciate stepping up in trip which should see him challenging strongly at the line. WAKABURN (1) hadn't been seen for a while but returned with a cracking effort and will now strip a fitter horse for this contest. He demands the utmost of respect. GOLD INDEX (8) has been running to a high level and should be right in the thick of things. ZABEEL LIGHT (10) is an up and coming youngster who will continue to improve with racing and should feature for the minor spots.

DAVALLIA (13) drops into the claiming class for the first time, and if emulating her penultimate start when she was fourth in a handicap at Deauville in late November, she is the one to beat.

TEN HORNS (7) has been in great form of late, he won by 2.5L in a Class 2 race on his most recent start in mid-December at Chantilly. He will be expected to get a hat-trick of wins ahead of MCLEAN HOUSE (10) who was back in fifth in the Class 2 race last month on his debut in France, having won five times on the level when trained by Andrew Balding in the UK. NATIONAL SERVICE (6) warrants respect and can be involved as can MATURLO (9) who heads the remainder.
