Well-beaten 5th of 11 behind MAT MANATHIS (7) in 2700m Gr.3 Prix Penthesilea here late last month and will struggle to make his presence felt

Suffered interference, subsequently sanctioned, in 2700m Gr.3 Prix Penthesilea here late last month. Has ample ability and will be no shrinking violet if Francois Lagadeuc keeps him out of harm's way

Won 2 in a row before finishing 5th of 10 to MAKE A DREAM (6) in a 2700m Class A here late-February, and will need to take his game up a notch

Good, consistent colt that ran 3rd of 11, a place behind MAT MANATHIS (7), in 2700m Gr.3 Prix Penthesilea here late last month. Has ground to make up but can still get in on the action

2nd of 10 to MAKE A DREAM (6) late-February before being sanctioned when full of running in 28 March race of reference. Is a serious future prospect and must be taken at face value. Attention

Twice a winner already this year, latterly securing a 2700m Class A with consummate ease on 23 February. Has been afforded time to get back in shape and looks main threat to MAT MANATHIS (7)

Made up for his Gr.1 Prix Comte Pierre de Montesson blip when close 2nd of 11 in 2700m Gr.3 Prix Penthesilea here on 28 March. Currently looks the most forward horse here and can impose

Race Overview
With 11 races under his belt and over 83,000 Euros in earnings, MAT MANATHIS (7) has curiously yet to lose his maiden status, but considering how well he acquitted himself in the Gr.3 Prix Penthesilea, victory is not far off. Benjamin Rochard, who takes over in the bike, will still be keeping a watchful eye on course-and-distance winner, MAKE A DREAM (6), who romped over 2700m last time here. MANASLU (5) lost his action when full of running in the Prix Penthesilea and on good behaviour can make a big splash. Unlucky to be sanctioned that day, MEMPHIS DE BRASSE (2) will be expected to bounce back and challenge for a spot in the frame.
Selection:
7 - 6 - 5
