Race Overview
TRUE VALUE (2) returned to winning ways with a start-to-finish victory over 1400m on PSF at Chantilly and is capable of following up here reverting to the turf, having won on debut on soft ground last year. GRAN HABANO (1) finished 5th on his handicap debut over 1600m on the PSF in January and represents a stable in good form, so has to be respected. Also on the right track after an encouraging 3rd last time, NOUSDEUX (3) ought to be competitive. The shortlist is completed by SUBLIME CHOPE (4) whose recent 4th at Le Mans was evidence of improvement.
