Opened her 2024 account with an authoritative 2200m Pontchateau Class E victory on 31 March. Takes on the colts this time but still looks a leading contender

Race Overview
Unbeaten in two starts, his last with consummate ease, LIONHEART (6) has not been seen out since late-November but should nevertheless have the measure of most here. Principal opposition will logically come from LUGACHA (8) who returned victoriously to competition late last month, and the returning LOOK DE VALAILLES (5) who has been given time to freshen up following his maiden success two months ago. LORD DE BRION (1) is a colt of considerable promise and will have his chances if he stays in stride.
Selection:
6 - 8 - 5
