Ran on from last to make a winning reappearance over 1700m at La-Roche-sur-Yon on 14 April and, on the evidence of that victory, could be even better over this extended distance. Candidate for success

Has improved with each handicap appearance and confirmed as much by finishing 4th over 2000m at Lyon-Parilly on 17 April. Dangerous to discount his chances

Showed signs of improvement when finishing 5th on his reappearance over 2000m at Durtal on 21 April. Could have more to offer pitched into a handicap for the first time

Race Overview
RUE CUSTINE (4) is by no means a model of consistency but, against this opposition, seems ideally placed to make a winning handicap debut. Improving HIMYAN (1) made a winning reappearance and should have more to offer given a step up to this distance, so will fight for victory. CYNIC (3), who finished 2nd in a handicap last time, need only confirm the improvement of that performance to trouble that pair, while consistent TEARDROP EXPLODES (2) has never disappointed on this track and should again acquit herself competitively.
