BAILEYS BACHELOR (1) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 2 lengths over 1200m at this track. The engagement of Tony Piccone is a positive move. Finds the right race this time and can take the next step and salute. PERMENTON (3) is a distance specialist who finished 0.9 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1100m at Le Croisé-Laroche, an improvement on his seventh at Saint-Cloud the run before. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. KAMETA (16) turned in a fair effort at Chantilly All Weather over 1300m at her last run four months ago, finishing fourth and beaten 2 lengths. Among the better hopes. ANDARTIS (14) finished fourth last time out over 1000m at Dieppe, beaten 2 lengths. Strong top-three chance.
