The only maiden in the lineup and is unlikely to pose a threat in this race on the evidence of his 3 outings, the latest (7th) over 1700m at La Roche-Posay on 1 May. Can be ruled out

Made a winning debut on the PSF at Deauville over 1900m in November last year and didn't go unnoticed when 3rd on his seasonal reappearance over 2000m on the turf at Chantilly on 30 March. Not taken lightly

Race Overview
LOOK DE VEGA (3) could hardly have been more impressive when running out a wide-margin winner on debut last year. BELIEVER (4), who finished 2nd on that occasion, franked the form of that race by winning on his reappearance and his superior fitness should stand him in good stead. A bigger threat, however, could come from fellow first-start scorer HAMAVI (5) whose winning debut on this course is an advantage. COLOMBUS (2) isn't without a chance either after an encouraging comeback performance at Chantilly which would have benefitted him no end.
Selection:
3 - 5 - 4
