Race Overview
FORBIDDEN SECRET (1) has had his last six runs at Lyon La Soie, he had two wins before that over course and distance, the latter in February 2024. He was fourth at Lyon la Soie in a Class 4 handicap 19 days ago and is preferred to DAMASK BLADE (5) who holds stronger form but has not been seen since June 2024. With fitness taken on trust, he can be competitive. CATCH THE STARS (3) and ELAUNEIL (4) both warrant respect and can fight it out for minor honours.
