MON SIOUX (2) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a second most recently over 1600m at Chantilly All Weather when beaten a long neck. Today might be his day. SHAMASUN (14) disappointed last time when seventh over 1700m at Fontainebleau after a close third at Fontainebleau the run prior. Coming back in trip suits so can bounce back. HEATHERWOOD (1) was never in contention when resuming last start over 1400m at Compiegne, finishing 13th and beaten 9 lengths. Should be prominent from the outset. One to consider. SAKHARAH (3) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Compiegne, finishing third and only 2 lengths from the winner at the end of 1400m. Suitably placed so anticipating another bold showing.
