Debut winner over 2700m at Graignes before finishing 5th over 2225m at Mauquenchy on 21 February. Yoann Lebourgeois engaged now and this longer distance will serve his interests

A 16-start maiden yet to find the frame. Has shown signs of improvement recently in this shoe fitting but must make further progress to have a say here after finishing 6th at Vincennes over 2100m on 14 February

Race Overview
A difficult race to assess, featuring several promising colts and geldings for whom solid cases can be made. It could, however, pay to side with LOOPING D'HERIPRE (1) who bumped an exciting prospect when finishing 2nd on debut at Cagnes-sur-Mer. LUX DE LA MESLIERE (2), a winner on debut, was far from disgraced when finishing 5th last time and is capable of fighting for victory. Consistent LIGHTNING JIEL (9), improving last-start winner LOTUS GRIFF (8) and LED ZEP VET (6), who finished 2nd in both outings, also have legitimate aspirations.
