DESERT HEIGHTS (2) looks to be the key player. Holds solid recent form with a 2L fifth at course and distance. This represents a drop in class which could assist in gaining a fifth AW victory. Strong contender. RIBOT DREAM (1) performed with plenty of credit in a stronger handicap over track and trip. Entitled to be in the mix. Keep onside.

VERTI CHOP (7) outran his rivals two starts ago at course and distance. The neck winning margin flattered the second as he won with plenty in hand. Set to confirm that form and is a strong chance. ALEGIA (13) will have a good go from the front following a narrow defeat. Might prove hard to catch. MISVA (4) filled third position before the aforementioned pair last start. Each-way chance once more. KANNON (5) is in good form and warrants place respect.

Extremely modest contest. REVE TOUJOURS (11) was 4L fourth at Nimes over 1200m. Hitting top stride coming into this contest and is a key player among modest company. Top chance. LE RING (5) needs to show up on this return to action but was a good third at Cagnes-Sur-Mer (AW) in February. Don't underestimate. JACKSON EN BOIS (1) maintains ability to place dropping in distance. Include. EVEREST HILL (8) could show sharp improvement returning to this venue which yielded a 4L fifth three starts ago.
8L eighth before an absence. Can't recommend on return unless significant improvement.

RAVEN'S SPIRIT (7) could deliver a first career success on his third outing. Finishing 1L runner-up at Marseilles-Borely was an improvement from debut and looks poised to be involved. Rates highly. ROXY MUSIC (6) was caught after leading for a long way in latest. Might have more to offer over this shorter distance. Keep on side from an each-way perspective. BAD LIAR (4) is another who can produce a frame effort following improved form with a 3L third. INVINCIBLE IBRA (3) is set to progress from debut effort and is in with a place chance.

A moderate AW maiden over 1500m. DIANA (2) brings solid form including a 3L third at course and distance. May back-up that effort and rates one of the more likely contenders. Include. INESS BERE (7) is interesting receiving a drop in trip after a fifth over 2000m nine days ago. Could find one too good but worthy of place consideration. NOELLE (5) made a favourable impression with a 4L fifth in a Chantilly claimer. If replicating would go close. AIMEF (1) can reach the frame. Faces a big drop in class.
2L fifth in Lyon-la-Soie handicap (AW) over 2150m 27 days ago. Solid contender.

IAMAROCK (2) seeks to improve on a recent 5L third over 1500m here eleven days ago. The extra trip may suit and a bold bid is expected. Strong contender. LE GASTRONOME (1) finished 2L fifth in a Lyon-la-Soie handicap (AW) over 2150m. That form looks decent in the context of this event and warrants each-way respect. VISITE PRIVEE (6) wasn't beaten far in a course claimer last outing. Keep on side. LEXINGTON REBEL (4) may surprise after producing some fair form in the UK.
