SEREMINI (3) turned in a strong run two starts ago at Lyon-la-Soie then failed to back it up over 2000m at Fontainebleau last time, beaten 12 lengths into fifth. Freshened for this so should prove tough to beat. BAD DESIRE (6) is a four-year-old import having his first run for the Carlos & Yann Lerner stable. Finished off last campaign with fifth over 1950m at Jebel Ali three-and-a-half months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly for the new connections but he is among the leading chances. JUST JIM (12) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 2.75 lengths when sixth over 2300m at Angers five-and-a-half weeks ago. Faces an easier assignment so he is a major player. DRUMARD (9) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on 6/09/2024, finishing seventh and beaten 8 lengths over 2400m in Listed grade at Saint-Cloud. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
