Versatile hard-knocking colt with sound references in Quinte+ handicaps on both surfaces and 2 wins from as many appearances in this category, albeit on turf. Unplaced (9th) in a 1600m Saint-Cloud handicap last month (10 November) but shouldn't be underestimated back at this level, even on PSF

Race Overview
Lightly raced ANONYMOUS (1) has nothing to prove at this level and is good value to continue his winning ways after adding to his tally at Lyon-La Soie earlier this month. VENTS CONTRAIRES (3), a former Quinte+ winner, ought to acquit himself competitively in this grade, so he leads the opposition ahead of OCEANIA (7), after an encouraging start on French soil, and AMI SOLEDAD (6), back over a distance that serves his interests.
