Race Overview
LIGHTNING FLASH (1) won at Hexham in the UK last time and can score on his first run on French soil. DEXPERTS OPINION (10) looks like the one that could give the selection the most to think about. He has a nice profile and will be well-tuned for a bold show. RICHARD DE CLARE (3) was a nice third last time and can not be ruled out of the top four. ALMOST UNREAL (6) won on the flat in May and makes up the shortlist.
