ADEVA (6) blotted her copybook in a valuable sales race back in October but made an encouraging return to action when finishing 3rd at Bordeaux-Le Bouscat on her reappearance and needn't improve a great deal to open her account here. BESHTANI (1) finished 2nd in his comeback outing and is likely to mount a serious challenge if building on that improvement, while VILLAGE ANGLAIS (4) is also capable of staking a claim but must bounce back to his earlier form after two disappointing efforts. SAY AGAIN (5) fits a similar profile after finishing 3rd on debut. JOLI CORBEAU (8) is not without a chance either.

Several with chances in this open handicap event but none make more appeal than consistent ALPAGE (5) who is taken to recapture the winning thread. THE CHOSEN ONE (4) was a winner at this course in April and finished 5th at Longchamp earlier this month, so is another likely to play a leading role. MISS BELIEVE (1) is in good shape after bouncing back to form last time and ought to make her presence felt if confirming that improvement. Both ZANTARIO (12) and LORLISALSA (9) cannot be ignored, while KARINAS DREAM (7) could get into the picture after a pleasing (2nd) reappearance.

DARADOUA (6) made a winning handicap debut at ParisLongchamp and is worth siding with again, despite a 3,5kg penalty, as the step up to this distance is likely to bring about further improvement. THIRTEENTH MONTH (3), also a winner last time out, could pose a threat if confirming the improvement of his Chateaubria victory, while handicap newcomer LADY GLENHAM (9) need only bounce back to the form of her course-and-distance 3rd two starts back to also have a say in the finish. MANKO (11) is in good form so cannot be discounted either. The shortlist is completed by ZOOKS (8) and STRATUS (4).

After finishing 8th on debut, ZARIR (1) raised his game with the benefit of that experience to win in style at his next start and this well-related colt could prove that was no flash in the pan by following up here. SACRED SPIRIT (2) is a well-bred last-start winner too and ought to fight for victory, with his course experience likely to stand him in good stead. NOT ALONE (5) is the highest-rated runner in the lineup and will appreciate cutting back in distance, so ought to make his presence felt. LODOVICO (3) has the form and experience to get into the picture.

EMBRACE ADVERSITY (3) finished a much-improved 4th at Salon-de-Provence last time after a modest introduction and, with further improvement expected, is taken to get the better of L'ELU DE SADDLE (1) who changed hands after finishing a pleasing 3rd on his debut at this level of competition. RUM TUM TUGGER (2) should have a say if building on the improvement of his last start, while STAR PAREILLE (9) is not written off just yet, despite a disappointing last start, having won at this level on debut. RUE MIA (7) is on the right track and could get a look in after an improved last outing.

Rachel Philippon has a strong coupling here, with stablemates COLE CHOP (9), who confirmed recent improvement by finishing 2nd at Saint-Cloud last time, and consistent LADY VALOU (8) likely to go well and taken to dominate the finish. MAKHZEN (6) has less leeway off a higher mark after his last-start success but should remain competitive too. WHEEL OF CHANCE (3) is capable of better than his last start suggests and could make his presence felt if bouncing back to his earlier form, which could also be said of PRESS OFFICER (2) who appeals most of the remainder.

Absent since finishing 4th over hurdles back in April, it could pay to follow BONAPARTE SIZING (1) on his return back on the flat, as he'll appreciate this distance. ARISTOCRATE (8) has been rejuvenated since joining Patrick Monfort's stable and is likely to mount another serious winning bid, so must be respected. GOOD QUESTION (2) is better than his last start suggests and ought to be competitive on the strength and consistency of his previous form. Of the rest, SADARAK (9) and POET'S BLACK (4) make the most appeal.

Unbeaten JOY TEAM (4) has been absent since August but is hard to oppose on her return after winning all 3 starts last year, proving equal each to step up in grade. JEANNETTE (3) has a fitness edge and is in good shape so is likely to pose a threat, which could also be said of JUSTUNE STAR (2) who already has a victory to her name this year. IL EST DIVINE (5) warrants respect too after winning on his reappearance.
