EXCITING (3) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1600m at Saint-Cloud after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. E VA BIN (2) was below his best last time when eighth over 1950m at Longchamp, beaten 3 lengths. Taking on a better line-up this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. COEUR DE ROUME (6) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 3.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 2000m at Lyon-Parilly. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. HAPPY HUNTER (8) finished second at Le Mans two runs back but was less effective last time over 1600m at Longchamp, finishing 2 lengths back in seventh. Has his share of talent and can do a lot better.
