TRIPTAJIKA (2) finds it hard to win but ran a strong race last time when beaten half a length into third over 2000m at Nancy. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will play a major role. SILVER SCHNOK (3) comes here off a last-start fifth, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 2000m at Fontainebleau. Ticks all the right boxes. MAGNETIQUE (1) did little and finished 7 lengths from the winner in ninth over 2000m at Nancy last start, a less impressive effort than his seventh at this track the run before. The engagement of Eddy Hardouin is noteworthy. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. NEVER LEAVE (6) turned in another moderate effort last start when 4.5 lengths from the winner in sixth over 2000m at Lyon-Parilly. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
