(5) ROYAL GIFT is probably not the most reliable performer but she generally runs well at this venue and seems to be well handicapped. She can resume winning ways at the expense of (8) FINCH HATTON who is sure to enjoy the switch back to the fibresand surface. Course specialist (9) BINGO should be in the mix. Watch for (4) KOMODO.

The 90 000 Euros Deauville sales purchase (7) LOUVE is well-spoken and would probably disappoint if not winning her first start. But with so many newcomers in the race there are a lot of uncertainties and it may be safer to keep a close eye on (9) REVOLVER EYES who also is interesting in the breeding. (11) TOUR D'ECHELLE is another first-timer who should be looked at closely.

(9) BISSIN has been firing on all cylinders recently and seems to enjoy this course and distance. He makes a lot of appeal and is the choice ahead of the consistent (7) BLACKSOU who has the assistance of Maxime Guyon. (4) ROZANNE had run a good race here in March off that same mark and is not one to be ruled out.

(1) PUMP PUMP PALACE is simply an outstanding performer on fibresand and will once again be hard to oppose. However it is interesting to follow (10) SKALLETI at this level of competition. He failed to deliver in a Listed event at Cagnes sur Mer this winter but has since improved nicely and looks competitive here. (6) DIAMOND VENDOME and (4) CREPUSCULEDESDIEUX are next best.

(2) MORGNY posted an excellent runner-up effort on re-entry at Salon de Provence recently and is the obvious danger in this modest maiden. None of his opponents have gone so close to winning so far and no doubt he will go off at a very short price. (1) MONTAIGU (6) SALTIMBANQUE and (3) MUNDAKA will need to improve significantly to beat the selection.

On the podium in five of his last six starts (1) BECQUARAINBOW deserves to get back in the winners box and gets a vote of confidence to deliver in this last race on the card. (4) FLAG OF ST GEORGE ran a very good race at Maisons-Laffitte last time out. He is upped in trip today and has not cheekpieces on. (2) LOOKING SMART and (5) VIA PELLEGRINA can be in the mix.
