DAPANGO (5) returns after a spell of 11 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1600m at Fontainebleau. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. CREW DRAGON (6) finished second two runs back at Le Mans then improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths as public elect over 1350m at Angers. Going up a level this time but he is good enough to play a major role. ROUGEGARDE (4) improved sharply on his ninth two starts back at Fontainebleau with success over 1700m at La Roche-Posay three weeks ago, getting home by one length. Marie Velon gets the best out of this eight-year-old gelding. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of another big performance. EL RUBIO (7) hit the frame when resuming two runs back at Mulheim but couldn't back it up last start when sixth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1600m at Chantilly All Weather. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
