CIARAN (1) is back from a spell of nine months. Closed last prep with a second, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1400m at Vichy. Ticks all the right boxes. DUNE (3) is back from a spell of eight months. Closed last prep with a fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1650m at Craon. Big run likely. COREY BEACH (2) is a progressive three-year-old filly who hasn't raced since finishing third over 1300m at Chantilly All Weather on October 29 which was the only run of that prep. Shapes as one to consider. BRAVO BAY (6) finished third last time over 1400m at Chantilly, beaten 5.5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing.
