Placed at this level last year and has not finished far off the mark in 3 outings (all in this category) since the turn of the year., though needs to improve to get a look in here after finishing 8th in the reference race on 16 February

Was a well-beaten 9th on debut at Lyon-La Soie and made no impression when last of the six runners over 2000m (PSF) at Cagnes on 25 February. Hard to recommend, even at this level

Finished a pleasing 5th on debut on this course over 1900m (PSF) on 23 February. Will improve with the benefit of that experience and should pose even more of a threat dropped to the claiming category now

Was a disappointing 10th in a 2000m PSF conditions race at Pau when last seen on 1 December, having finished 3rd at this level in his previous outing over 1900m on the PSF at Deauville in November. One to keep an eye on

Improved to finish a reassuring 4th last time in just her second start on French soil at Pornichet over 2100m (PSF) on 22 February. Was unlucky not to have achieved an even better result on that occasion, so has to be respected

Race Overview
EXCESSIVENESS (8) gave a much better account of herself when improving for the step up to this distance to win the benchmark race over the same track and trip. On the evidence of that victory and with further progress expected, she is good value to win again here. ORFEO (4) made an encouraging debut in a competitive race/field and should improve with the benefit of that experience, so is likely to pose a threat. CHANAZ (3) performed well in his only appearance at this level, so could also get into the picture in a race of this ilk. DOMIZIA SWEETY (6) completes the shortlist.
Selection:
8 - 4 - 3
