JAAFAR (2) is a tad erratic but has served up some very good runs between some below par efforts and on very best form looks the one to beat. He has been in some competitive Handicaps and is the win choice. ZARICA (6) has had plenty racing but has racked up many victories. She finished fifth last time in a similar class and should be a big danger. LOCAL WHISKY (8) won four races back but has been a bit average since. In saying that, much better can be expected from him today and he can be given a strong place chance. LORNE (10) is the value suggestion for the quartet.

ROYAL MONARCH (10) has been ultra-consistent in recent Handicaps and never too far adrift the winners. His last run at Chantilly was good enough to warrant him a bright winning chance. He is however testing our patience for the next win. Today could be the day! MUSIC IS HER NAME (1) is back in hot form and looks to be the biggest danger to the first selection. She can be expected to be very competitive. VIZINDI (6) has a strong place chance and can feature in the finish. A must for the quartet. LIDISBARN (5) can get a lot closer than he has been recently and has a first four chance.

EVERSTAR (3) has run only eight times for five places and two wins. He more than likely has a tad more to offer and should be very competitive for the win position. He has been racing in weak company, as he does again today and could be too strong for the opposition. STARZO FAL (5) has placed eight from ten attempts but has not yet achieved the maiden victory. He has a bright chance of doing so in this field and must be respected for all bets. TREIZIEME (4) was a winner last time and if he were to follow up, it would be no shock at all. Chance.

HIS PRIDE (13) is taking time to find the winners enclosure but is certainly making big threats of doing so soon. His last effort when second over 1300m in a Handicap at Deauville was excellent. He is confidently selected to go one better and pass the finish line first. ROYAL EMERTHER (5) is lightly raced and clearly getting better with racing and since relocating. His last run was encouraging and he can improve further to go very close to winning. Big runner. BIG RIVER (4) has finished fourth in his last two races and has massive place claims again. URI (7) has done enough to warrant inclusion in all bets.

ALREHB (3), runner-up behind the smart Dawn Intello recently, and GRYPHON (4), who was 2nd to Dolayli on this track last time, set the standard here and are likely to find themselves fighting for victory. IFACH (6) should have more to offer after a much-needed comeback outing, so could pose a threat. SPEECHMAN (11) and GALASHIELS (7) complete the shortlist.

TOLLARD ROYAL (11) dropped to his current mark when finishing an improved 4th in a similar race over course and distance last time so, with Stephane Pasquier engaged this time, ought to confirm that progress. SHAMYA (1) has been impeccable in recent weeks and is likely to fight for victory, along with ZIPPERE (12) whose last start (2nd) over this trip was encouraging. FUCHSIA (2), who is at ease on PSF, and resurgent HAPPY HUNTER (10) also have the means to play a leading role.

ZUMA (6) confirmed the promise of his debut 3rd last year with an improved 2nd on his reappearance and needn't improve a great deal more to open his account here. He will, however, have to thwart the challenge of PLEASEMAN (4), beaten only by a quality sort last time out, and BIG RAJ (1) who is expected to build on an encouraging debut (3rd). SEA SALINA (9) and COCKTAIL PRINCE (5) have both the form and consistency to pose a threat to those principals.

RANCON ROYALE (5) has won two of three outings already this year and could well capitalise on his good form and physical condition by adding to his tally in this concluding event. He will, however, have to thwart consistent OCEAN (15), who would not be winning out turn after several near misses, and resurgent ABELARD F (13) with blinkers retained after an encouraging last start in the headgear. SIRIUS SLEW (12) is a dangerous frontrunner who cannot be taken lightly either, while J'ACCLAME (6) and DJENNE (11) remain capable at this level despite their inconsistency.
