(4) PANDA QUEEN gave a good account in her first run at Chantilly two weeks ago and with the natural improvement should be capable of going off the mark this time around. The only newcomer in the race (5) DRAGON HAS LANDED is trained by Matthieu Palussiere so has to be feared. (1) MEHANYDREAM should not be too far off the action at the finish. (2) DIGOSVILLE has room for improvement.

(4) VELA broke his maiden tag in a hard-fought finish but he will surely have come on a lot for the run and it is interesting to see Boudot in the irons this time around.

(1) ASTRACHEM ran well in a better race than this last time out and in similar form should have a big chance. (2) ROYAL FOX has been running well of late but just lacks that little spark to make it back to the winners enclosure. He should go close nonetheless and must be respected. (6) PERLE NONANTAISE and (10) ADRIEL are two more to consider.
