Delicate but has undeniable means, confirmed by his Graignes success over 2725m last month. Disqualified last time (9 April) over 2850m on this course but shouldn't be hastily condemned

Race Overview
Despite proving a tricky customer at the start, LORD DELO (1) made a thunderous winning debut and established himself as a smart colt for the future so it should pay to follow his progress. LEGATO DE FELLIERE (4) was unlucky not to have achieved a better result in his last start (5th) and is likely to play a leading role if avoiding disqualification. Like the selection, debut winner LYNX DU CHATELET (2) is open to any amount of improvement and could confirm the promise of his successful introduction by joining the fight for victory. LIGHTNING JIEL (9) and LEONARDO DU DERBY (3) have also shown enough to warrant consideration/inclusion.
Selection:
1 - 4 - 2
