Race Overview
Veteran ALPENGEIST (6) rediscovered his form and consistency dropped in the weights/ratings and wasn't winning out of turn last time at Compiegne. On the evidence of that victory, a 3kg penalty may not be enough to prevent him from winning again. He will, however, have to thwart the likely challenge of consistent veteran mare MEARAS STYLE (17) who should pose a threat in receipt of 3,5kg. Top-weight LOUVE PRECIEUSE (1) is reunited with Maxime Guyon, under whom she has won, and ought to make her presence felt too. MANA SIS (12) and BLACK PANTHER (8) appeal most of the remainder.
