Another open looking race. RAFFLES FACE (4) is clearly better than the last run would suggest and will do better backer in a chase.

ILLIKO DES PLANS (5) has been in good shape of late and will be full of confidence after a win last time in mid-November in a Class 3 hurdle over 3800m.

Previous course winner ARTEMISS (5) can get back in the winner's enclosure after a recent outing earlier this month on her return from a layoff. She will strip fitter today and can score from her main rival ROUGE (2) who was a recent winner at Toulouse 27 days ago and will be in good shape for this. MY HOPE (11) is one to include in all of the place bet permutations. GLORIETTE SAN (6) warrants respect and ought to be involved at the business end.
