Well-performed veteran who caught the eye when finishing 5th on his reappearance at Compiegne over 2000m on 7 June. Warrants serious respect at this level with improved fitness on his side

Consistent for the most part and has references on both surfaces, although probably most effective on PSF (both wins on the all-weather). Finished a well-beaten 10th in a 2400m Quinte+ at Chantilly on 4 April

Finished 2nd in a 1500m PSF claimer in his first start on French soil but has disappointed in 3 subsequent outings - the latest (7th) in a 1400m claimer at this venue on 16 May. For another day

Unplaced in consecutive Quinte+ handicaps recently but wasn't beaten far in either, the latest (9th) over 2000m at Marseille-Borely on 27 May. Not taken lightly

266-31
Consistent, lightly raced and versatile performer with solid form references/credentials on both surfaces, including a last-start Quinte success on PSF over 1900m at Deauville on 9 April. Sets the standard

C
5 yrs
370-93
Unplaced in each of his 3 starts, twice last year and, most recently (9th), on his reappearance at Berlin over 2000m on 28 April. Others preferred

Consistent stayer with sound references/form credentials, including a last-start victory at Marseille-Borely over 2600m on 7 June. Keep safe

Race Overview
Versatile SPEECHMAN (5) is equally adept on turf as he is on PSF and is good value to build on his last-start Quinte+ victory on PSF with another success in his first start at this level, despite a 3kg penalty. CENTRAL PARK WEST (4) has finished unplaced in back-to-back Quinte+ races on turf recently but wasn't beaten far in either and remains capable of playing a leading role, with top-rated/top-weighted veteran MONTY (1) also likely to make life difficult for the selection after an encouraging comeback at Compiegne. Consistent last-start scorer WUKHANN (7) completes the shortlist.
Selection:
5 - 4 - 1
