A fairly modest claiming race in which it could pay to side with MARSHALL LESSING (1) who has the best references on this Pornichet PSF. BOKEN (2), ideally engaged under these conditions, NAMAR (13), whose latest performance is better than his finishing position suggests, as well as BEAUFOUR (4), if judged on previous form, all have the means to pose a threat to the selection.

A race of few starters although a case can be made for most of the runners in this handicap. FOREST OF WISDOM (3), if judged on his best PSF form references, has a winning chance returning to the fibresand, so gets the nod ahead of PIRIAC (1) who has been consistent over obstacles but remains capable on the flat, especially at a track he enjoys. LE PETIT GEGENE (2) also has a sound record on this course and is likely to stake a claim. ROMANELLO (4) lines up in good form but has to prove himself over this distance.

SAILORS DELIGHT (4) was far from disgraced when finishing 6th in a good race at Deauville on debut. She would've come on with the benefit of that experience, so it could pay to follow her progress, especially given the drop to this grade. RECONNECT (1) is proven in this category and boasts sound form credentials at this level. She ought to fight for victory. AZIMA (7), who didn't go unnoticed at Chantilly last time, and BARONCINA (12), whose last start is better than her finishing position behind AZIMA (7) indicates, complete the shortlist.

ALESSANDRO (3) is by far the most successful of these runners and is effective on the fibresand, so is likely to garner the most interest. CREW DRAGON (1) caught the eye recently when 2nd to the useful Titanium at this track and, with a repeat of that performance, ought to fight for victory. THE CHARMER (9), after 2 much-needed comeback outings, has the means to join that fight, though, with MEMORY DREAM (2), whose last outing (6th) is better than it reads, not taken lightly either. Good race!

IPPLING (7) was a winner at this venue recently and is good value to follow up here, despite a 3,5kg penalty, with his rider's 1,5kg allowance sure to aid his cause. CORDEY ROSE (2) and KINGDOM (1) both perform well on PSF so ought to pose a threat, with BOROVSK (3) also capable of playing a role in the finish.

PENNBLE (13) confirmed his liking for this track by finishing a much-improved 2nd here last time and, with a repeat of that performance, is taken to get the better of BAFANA LINNGARI (1), whose modest recent form has resulted in a significant drop in the ratings to an attractive current mark at which he ought to fare better/be more competitive. Of the remainder, PREMIERE ETOILE (4) and LE BOLERO (7) make most appeal.

WAYOFSPEED (4), although 'hot and cold' lately, performed impeccably on this surface last winter so, on that basis, gets the nod here ahead of USNAVYGIRL (5), whose form references are good enough to fight for victory in a race of this nature. KERDINA (8), who boasts the highest rating of the 10 runners engaged in this race, and AMICIS (6), in her first start at this level, are others capable of getting involved.

REINE DE LUNE (10), although unplaced in each of her last five starts, has run well enough in defeat to suggest she is capable of winning a race like this. RAISE THE STAKES (3), who has performed well at this course, is also out of sorts but retains the means to play a leading role in a race of this nature. Stablemates SEMEUR (7) and PARK SQUARE (9), whose latest outings do not reflect their true worth, are others capable of staking a claim in the finish. Tricky!
