SABIO CEN (8) was far from disgraced when pitched into Group I company last time, finishing 6th in the Prix Ganay, and need only run to that level of form to recapture the winning thread.

BOHEMIA (7) ran well when runner-up on debut. She has not repeated it in three starts since but was not disgraced on handicap debut and has more to offer so could strike. AMERICANO (3) picked up a deserved win last time out over further. This could be short of his best distance but he is clearly in with a winning chance. AGRI (6) is threatening a handicap win and must be considered. L'IMPREVUE (1) could finish in the money.
