ELKABIER (1) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 2000m at Le Lion-d'angers when beaten 3 lengths. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Likely to feature. TIGER KING (6) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at Le Croisé-Laroche, most recently beaten 1.75 lengths into third over 1800m at Longchamp. Taking on a better line-up this time but he good enough to play a major role. LUCY GALESTE (2) finished 4.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 2000m at Longchamp, an improvement on her 11th at Saint-Cloud the run before. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. MELANIES JOY (8) is yet to break through in 10 runs but has been thereabouts. Placed two back then was 4 lengths away in fifth over 2000m at Saint-Cloud last time. Has ability and definitely worth including.
