Sea The Stars colt whose dam was a winner and Listed placed. Trained by Andre Fabre and must be closely monitored.
Representing Andre Fabre's stable, well-related SOSIE (12) is expected to run well first time out. SEREMINI (1), trained by Francis Graffard, is likely to be a big player too and looks the main danger to the selection. BLUE STARLIGHT (5), with Christophe Soumillon engaged, is an attractive each-way angle, along with Jean-Claude Rouget's TREFLE VOLANT (6), who is another to keep an eye on.

PEACE WARRIOR (6) improved to finish 2nd last time and, in doing so, showed he has what it takes to win a race of this nature, and switching from PSF to turf here should not be a problem either. He does, however, have to be wary of LAILAHO (1) who has shown sufficient means to be competitive in his first claiming race. TWILIGHT (12) has already proven her competitiveness at this level and is likely to have a say in the finish. Veteran INDYCO (7) completes the shortlist.

Another newcomers race, this time for two-year-old fillies. SOLITE (13) and AVENTURE (12) are well-bred fillies who run in the interests of the Wertheimer operation. They make plenty appeal on paper, as does SIYANDRA (1) for the Aga Khan. GOOSEBUMPY (8) and CHARMILLE (7) represent stables not foreign to success with their young horses, so cannot be taken lightly either.

Consistent TWIN BOY (1) showed he remains competitive when finishing 6th last time, having won his previous start, and should find winning this handicap well within his compass on a surface that he has already achieved good results. HIS PRIDE (5), although out of sorts, has the means to pose a threat in a race of this nature, though the same could be said of DAN CHOP (13) under a light weight with the benefit of Manon Germain's 2,5kg weight allowance. BLACK PANTHER (6) and EMPIRIC (7) are attractive to lovers of outsiders.

On his best form, MALLORCA SUN (7) is the most likely to challenge them with improving CRACK CITY (9) next best and capable of playing a role. VILLEMACHO (1) remains competitive and ought to acquit himself well under top weight.

ATOME (6) made a splash at Deauville early last month and, despite his subsequent failure, could be worth giving another chance to here. MR SLICKER (10) returned to form last time and needs only to perform at a similar level to return to victory. PAINT IT BLACK (1) seems capable of pushing his limits even further, so will be competitive, with BOZA (12) and JORDAN BAKER (4) lying in wait to pick up the pieces.

PERTUSATO (8) and SEIGNEUR (3) whetted their appetite this summer in Deauville and could fight out the finish in this very open handicap. FUEGO DEL AMOR (10) has been unreliable of late but is capable of winning when in the mood. LARNO (1), is in good heart and has won on this surface so is clearly not out of it at this level. A mention must also be given to GURZUF (11) who has been knocking at the door loudly.
