ALMENKONIG (5) reunites with Eduardo Pedroza after scoring with ease over 2800m at Baden Baden last time. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Expected to be in the finish. OAK LAHOMA (6) finished 5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 2800m at Baden Baden five weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Rene Piechulek stays on. Likely to feature. LEONELLO (2) is a distance specialist who finished fifth two runs back at Strasbourg then improved last time out to score by 0.8 lengths over 3150m at Lyon-Parilly. Taking on a better line-up this time but he can go back-to-back. ILIANO (7) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 2000m at Dresden, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner. Ticks all the right boxes.
