HAVOC (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 14 lengths when sixth in a 2000m contest at Strasbourg a month ago. Worth noting Eddy Hardouin goes aboard. Likely improver with strong prospects. EL RUBIO (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at Compiegne, beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth. Nicely placed to take this out. BRIO (2) finished third over 1900m at Chantilly All Weather at his most recent appearance on February 27. Has switched to the Amy Murphy yard. Definite top-three chance. BURGUNDY REGAL (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at Compiegne, beaten 24 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
