ALMANSUR (6) made eye-catching headway to finish 2nd on debut at Bordeaux and there's no reason why he shouldn't confirm that promise on this surface, so is taken to go one better here. MANALOU (1), who finished 3rd on debut, let his supporters down when finishing a slightly disappointing 4th last time but could, with benefit of experience, could fight for victory along with DARSHAM (2) who also made a promising introduction(3rd) and would have improved for it. The shortlist is completed by newcomer GOCIANO (10) as well as MARKER (7).

There are sthree standout fillies in this lineup and the winner is likely to come from one of them. KAMAKURA ONE (2) is, seemingly, well placed to shed her maiden tag after three 2nd-place finished in four starts and is given the nod to open her account here. However, the chances of MA P'TITE DAME (11) cannot be discounted as she should have more to offer after an encouraging debut 4th. SWING CITY (5) ought to join the fight for victory if building on the improvement of her last- start 3rd. The returning ANTARES (1), equipped with headgear this time, is another to make note of.

Having finished 4th over 1800m on debut, BACK IN PARIS (3) is likely to take dead aim at the top of the podium, as this distance should suit him better. FOEHN(1) has always finished in the first four so is also a serious contender for victory. His stable companion GOOD FEELIN (6) shouldn't be condemned too hastily for her recent failure and remains capable of staking a claim, as does consistent filly SPARKLING LIGHT (8) who has the form and experience to play a leading role.
