JAAFAR (2) is a tad erratic but has served up some very good runs between some below par efforts and on very best form looks the one to beat. He has been in some competitive Handicaps and is the win choice. ZARICA (6) has had plenty racing but has racked up many victories. She finished fifth last time in a similar class and should be a big danger. LOCAL WHISKY (8) won four races back but has been a bit average since. In saying that, much better can be expected from him today and he can be given a strong place chance. LORNE (10) is the value suggestion for the quartet.

ROYAL MONARCH (10) has been ultra-consistent in recent Handicaps and never too far adrift the winners. His last run at Chantilly was good enough to warrant him a bright winning chance. He is however testing our patience for the next win. Today could be the day! MUSIC IS HER NAME (1) is back in hot form and looks to be the biggest danger to the first selection. She can be expected to be very competitive. VIZINDI (6) has a strong place chance and can feature in the finish. A must for the quartet. LIDISBARN (5) can get a lot closer than he has been recently and has a first four chance.

EVERSTAR (3) has run only eight times for five places and two wins. He more than likely has a tad more to offer and should be very competitive for the win position. He has been racing in weak company, as he does again today and could be too strong for the opposition. STARZO FAL (5) has placed eight from ten attempts but has not yet achieved the maiden victory. He has a bright chance of doing so in this field and must be respected for all bets. TREIZIEME (4) was a winner last time and if he were to follow up, it would be no shock at all. Chance.

HIS PRIDE (13) is taking time to find the winners enclosure but is certainly making big threats of doing so soon. His last effort when second over 1300m in a Handicap at Deauville was excellent. He is confidently selected to go one better and pass the finish line first. ROYAL EMERTHER (5) is lightly raced and clearly getting better with racing and since relocating. His last run was encouraging and he can improve further to go very close to winning. Big runner. BIG RIVER (4) has finished fourth in his last two races and has massive place claims again. URI (7) has done enough to warrant inclusion in all bets.

ALREHB (3), runner-up behind the smart Dawn Intello recently, and GRYPHON (4), who was 2nd to Dolayli on this track last time, set the standard here and are likely to find themselves fighting for victory. IFACH (6) should have more to offer after a much-needed comeback outing, so could pose a threat. SPEECHMAN (11) and GALASHIELS (7) complete the shortlist.

Finished a well-beaten 11th on debut over 1600m on this course last year (14 December). Ought to have gained plenty from that experience

ZUMA (6) confirmed the promise of his debut 3rd last year with an improved 2nd on his reappearance and needn't improve a great deal more to open his account here. He will, however, have to thwart the challenge of PLEASEMAN (4), beaten only by a quality sort last time out, and BIG RAJ (1) who is expected to build on an encouraging debut (3rd). SEA SALINA (9) and COCKTAIL PRINCE (5) have both the form and consistency to pose a threat to those principals.
Consistent filly with sound turf and PSF references, including a last-start 2nd in a 1500m claiming race on this surface at Deauville on 15 December. Has more to do now pitched in a handicap on her reappearance

Took advantage of a drop in the weights/ratings and the return to this distance by winning a PSF handicap over 1300m at Deauville on 2 February. Has more to do now up 3kg and from an unfavourable No 15 stall

Consistent for the most part before losing his form (unplaced) in consecutive Quinte+ handicap races at Deauville. Was 7th in a 1500m PSF claimer there on 26 January but is back in a handicap off a lower mark

Won a 1300m PSF handicap at Deauville in November but struggled to remain competitive under a 4kg penalty in his only subsequent outing (14th) over that track and trip on 26 December. Watch for now

Finished 2nd in a 1300m PSF handicap under a 3kg penalty at Deauville on 2 February before returning to winning ways in a conditions race there on 10 February. Can add to his tally off an unchanged mark

Won a 1600m PSF conditions race on this course prior to her disappointing last start (10th) in a handicap under a 0,5kg penalty. Shouldn't be hastily condemned now that she's back on her last winning mark

Has struggled to establish himself on French soil and has better references in Switzerland, where he was 4th over 1300m at Saint-Moritz on 11 February. Others make more appeal

A versatile filly with references in handicaps at this level on turf and PSF. Has been regaining momentum (was 6th in a 1300m PSF handicap at Deauville on 6 Jan) and is dangerous off this mark with Demuro up

Finished a reassuring 4th in a 1300m PSF conditions race at Deauville on 10 February and could confirm that improvement back in a handicap dropped a further 1,5kg. Dark horse

Finished a creditable 5th off this mark in a 1600m Quinte+ handicap on PSF at Pau before improving with blinkers refitted to finish 3rd over 1300m on PSF at Deauville on 10 February. Should have a role to play

Won a 1300m PSF handicap on this course in January last year but has been very inconsistent since, and was only 7th over track and trip on 2 February off a rating below that last winning mark. Outsider

Inconsistent veteran with sound form references, though has been more effective at a lower level recently and over shorter distances on turf. Was 4th in a claiming race over 1300m at Deauville on 18 November

RANCON ROYALE (5) has won two of three outings already this year and could well capitalise on his good form and physical condition by adding to his tally in this concluding event. He will, however, have to thwart consistent OCEAN (15), who would not be winning out turn after several near misses, and resurgent ABELARD F (13) with blinkers retained after an encouraging last start in the headgear. SIRIUS SLEW (12) is a dangerous frontrunner who cannot be taken lightly either, while J'ACCLAME (6) and DJENNE (11) remain capable at this level despite their inconsistency.
