A faller in the 2025 renewal of this contest when still travelling strongly, MISS LAURA (10) has reportedly been trained specifically with this race in mind and earns the vote to make amends this time around. Defending champion GOLD ALLEN (6) returned with a pleasing comeback effort and is expected to mount a bold defense of his crown. A rising force in this discipline, HISO (7) looks a major player for the leading positions, while SHAWINIGAN (1), winner of this race in 2023 and runner-up twelve months ago also commands plenty of respect.

LETS DANSE DOUDOU (4) has strong credentials and has two pleasing fourth placed efforts recently. The latter in a Group 3 AQ at Saint-Cloud last month. She is preferred over MISSION SMART (1) who has decent form in Group 3 AQ races recently, and has run well at this track before. MELEAGRINE (3) has been consistent without winning and her turn is not far away. LINSTANT (9) won on debut at Vittel last July and a fourth in a Group 3 AQ at Craon in September on her only other start was encouraging.
