Has failed to confirm the promise of his debut 5th (at this venue on turf over 1100m on 2 June) in two subsequent starts, 10th in both - the latest over 1300m on PSF at Deauville on 2 November. Should fare better in handicaps

Lightly raced filly with scope for further progress after finishing a career-best 5th over 1400m on heavy ground at Haras du Pin on 27 October. Switch to this surface and the handicap category holds no fears

Race Overview
Hard race to assess. Maturing MISTRA RIVER (5) posted a career-best at Haras du Pin last time and should go well on her handicap and PSF debut if confirming that progress. LARMES D'OR (8) didn't go unnoticed, despite finishing unplaced, in a PSF claimer at Deauville earlier this month and, with improvement expected, she should be a factor in the outcome. Perrine Cheyer's weight allowance should aid the chances of WICKBURY (1) who caught the eye at Machecoul 10 days ago, so she is another with legitimate ambitions on her handicap/PSF debut. SIGNORIA PIAZZA (9) has more experience than most of her rivals and should stand her in good stead.

5 - 8 - 1
