PALETUVIER (2) changed hands after winning at this level last month then a creditable 5th in a handicap on his stable debut just nine days later, and on that form will be hard to beat back in this grade. LIDISBARN (1) has been in good form at this level on the fibresand recently but has proven effective on the turf, so could pose a threat. TOP DAAY (3) was a well-beaten 3rd when behind the selection at Compiegne on 20 March but is 5kg better off so ought to get closer.

After finishing 3rd in a handicap at Saint-Cloud last time out, BARRAMEDA (4) is the one to be with and she should belatedly open her account if running to that level again. FRECCETTA (8) has flattered to deceive since a winning debut back in October but could give cheek if confirming the improvement she has shown in both starts since this year. SCATTERED DREAMS (1), in his first start on the turf, and IRISHKAMAYA (2) complete the shortlist.

NOELLE (1) reverts to the turf in this contest with good recent form on the fibresand to her name. She has a proven record at this level and on the surface, so is a confident first choice. LEX LUTHOR (2) was only 5th in this grade last time over 1800m but should fare better back over this trip, having finished 2nd in a course-and-distance handicap in his previous outing, and could pose a threat. HOLLY STORY (7) would have needed her last start after a layoff so is capable of better, and could get into the picture with improved fitness on her side. HUR CAT (8) and BANKSY (9) are not without a chance either.

The Aga Khan's CALIYZA (6) has shown enough in two starts to suggest that her trip to Nancy is with the firm intention of opening her account and it should pay to follow her progress. Newcomer MEHGAWAY (10) could be a force to be reckoned with in receipt of 2kg so must be respected. ELLERTON (3) is likely to improve after finishing in midfield on debut at Saint-Cloud so could have a say in the finish.

Veteran MOONWALK STEP (5) needs no introduction. He has been holding his form and, having been supplemented for the occasion, could have his consistency rewarded here. However, this is no foregone conclusion with rivals MODERN VALUE (6), bidding to open her account after seven 2nd-place finishes, and KARAKORUM (2) capable of fighting out the finish. Winner of his last start on the fibresand back in December, improving LUCKY CHARLIE (1) is also worth a mention.

Many with chances here. WELL DE VINDECY (4) made no impression on the PSF on her reappearance at Chantilly but is better on the turf and could be worth chancing back on the grass with improved fitness on her side. MAGIC LEG'S (6) bounced back to form in a handicap over this trip last time when reverting to the flat after a spell over hurdles and should play a leading role again if confirming that improvement. Both HE'S A ROCK STAR (10) and returning AS DE JUILLEY (2) have the means to play a role in the finish, so must also be considered.
