ROXY MUSIC (12) finished 2nd to BON ESPRIT (8) over course and distance recently, and is better off at the weights this time around but the latter was impressive in winning that day so is good value to confirm his superiority.

ERNAN CORTES (6) caught the eye when running non from a long way back to finish 5th in the benchmark race on 7 January and from a good draw is likely to fight for victory. ATLANTICA (4) would've finished closer at Deauville last time if securing a clear run, so ought to pose a threat to the selection. PEYTON PLACE (7) ran on well to finish 3rd in the reference race before winning over further last time and she, too, should remain competitive under a penalty.

Bruno de Montzey has his string in good order and consistent MONCAYO (2) is expected to be ready to go on his return, so should prove hard to beat. LUNA DE PLATA (4) travels from afar to take her place in the lineup and does so with legitimate ambitions, especially with Alexandre Roussel engaged to ride. SCHWENDI (3) also warrants respect, as his rider's 3,5kg allowance is sure to aid his cause. FLEUR DE SEL (6) is another capable of getting into the picture.

An open race in which it could pay to side with ATANASIO (5), on the evidence of his last-start 2nd over course and distance and is likely to fight for victory. ALAMSAR (2) has performed well on this surface and ought to pose a threat, though, while KER WELEN (6) should also be competitive for the leading places after an eye-catching last start at Deauville.

Philippe Sogorb has supplemented KADANCE DE BOZOULS (12), who has the means to join that fight for victory, while SAGLYACAT (3) could also have a say in the matter if maintaining the same level of form which saw her finish 6th in a handicap last time out.

SEA TOWER (6) finished an encouraging 2nd over this distance when last seen at Lyon-La Soie in November and will prove hard to beat here with a repeat of that performance on her reappearance. SIYOUCHKA (7) and HERMANO (3) are closely matched on the form of a recent meeting at the same venue and are likely to pose the biggest threats to the selection. GOLDEN RIVER (4) completes the shortlist.
