ASMARANI (1) recorded a strong maiden win over 2400m at Saint-Cloud last time, getting there by 3 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and he is a leading contender. ZEKRET (2) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at this track over 2150m, beaten half a length. Cherry-ripe now. Winning rider Alexis Pouchin sticks. Fitter and looks sure to play a big role. AVIDE (10) finished second when resuming from a spell last start over 2200m at Chantilly. Capable of playing a big role. RAFALE DESIGN (4) finished fifth when resuming from a spell last start over 2100m at this track. Has an impressive two wins from four career starts. Capable of playing a big role.
