FAMILIAR (1) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 2000m at Saint-Cloud. Stephane Pasquier goes well on this four-year-old and is back on top today. Sure to play a big role. AL ALMARCHAL (11) continues to race well with a win two back at Cagnes-sur-Mer All Weather before finishing 2.5 lengths away in third last time over 1900m at Deauville All Weather. Should camp just off the leaders. Will give a great sight. MISS WHITE SOCKS (5) was far from disgraced when third last start over 2100m at Saint-Cloud, beaten 0.9 lengths. That followed a win at Saint-Cloud the start prior. Faces an easier assignment so she is a major player. SKIMBLESHANKS (2) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 2400m at Saint-Cloud after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Another forward showing is anticipated.
