Runner-up in consecutive starts on the PSF at Chantilly but failed to build on that promise in his first start on turf, finishing 5th over 2000m at the venue on 30 March. Must improve

Regally bred Dubawi colt, the grandson of Goldikova. Finished 2nd on debut at Saint-Cloud on heavy ground over 2000m - interestingly, Maxime Guyon who rode him that day rides HAMAVI (8) instead

Well-bred Dubawi newcomer trained by Andre Fabre, who has engaged Maxime Guyon to ride. Could be worth following

Race Overview
The Wertheimer brothers are doubly represented and likely to win the lion's share of the prize. Newcomer HAMAVI (8) is bred to be useful and it could pay to take a chance on this son of Dubawi making a winning debut. However, he'll need to be above-average to thwart the expected challenge of BABAKOOL (7) who finished an encouraging 2nd on debut and would've improved with that experience. Behind him that day, finishing 3rd and 4th respectively, were NEWLOOK (2) and EXISTENTIALISTE (1) who aren't without a chance either judged on that form.
