Former Quinte+ winner who didn't go unnoticed when 6th on very heavy ground in an 1800m handicap at Clairefontaine on 25 October. Dropped to an attractive mark and will benefit from his rider's 2,5kg claim

Race Overview
TOLLEVAST (1) changed hands after winning a Saint-Cloud claimer last month and made an encouraging debut for his new connections when finishing 6th in a handicap at Clairefontaine, and a repeat of that performance should suffice against this opposition. Last-start scorer MOZART DES BRIERES (5), course-and-distance winner ZLARA (4), whose return to turf shouldn't be underestimated, and recent Saint-Cloud eye-catcher SOUND OF SIXTIES (6) are best equipped to expose any chinks in the selection's armour.
