NATIONAL SERVICE (2) did well last time to finish fifth over 1000m in the G3 Prix Du Gros-Chene at this track. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Will pay to follow up. MAJOR OAK (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Compiegne, beaten 5.5 lengths into sixth. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is right in contention. OMICRONE (1) finished second last time over 1200m at Saint-Cloud, beaten a long neck. Steps up a level but she is up to the task. TUDO BEM (6) returned from a spell a month ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into tenth over 1000m at Longchamp. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
