Soundly beaten (unplaced) in all three comeback outings this year, the latest (14th) over 1900m on PSF at Chantilly on 26 April. Can be ruled out

Race Overview
ASLAN SENORA (3), a winner on the course recently, and RAJA LUNA (5), who would've refined her condition with a run in a conditions race in which she was unfavorably engaged, have a theoretical winning chance and could find themselves fighting for victory, though slight preference is given to the former. NOBLE ANGEL (10), who finished 2nd to the selection, MANDLEFT (7), herself a runner-up last time (at Le Mans), and enigmatic DREAM AGAIN (8) are others capable of playing a leading role.
Selection:
3 - 5 - 10
