CLASSIC FLEUR (7) just missed last time when a head away in second at Dusseldorf over 2100m. Leading chance. WILD RUN (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 3.5 lengths when fifth over 2100m at Cologne four weeks ago. Worth noting Andrea Ricupa goes aboard. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is right in contention. PANTE RHEI (4) returned from a spell four weeks ago when she was beaten 11 lengths into fourth over 2500m at Mannheim. Meeting a tougher field but with added fitness she is right in contention. MISS BLACK (5) is back from a spell. Closed last prep in sparkling form with three consecutive wins, the latest over 2300m at Mons on October 18 2023. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Must be respected.
