ZARQANA (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 2500m at Nancy, beaten 7 lengths into ninth. Has the class to take care of this field. ATYLLUS (5) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 2950m at Krefeld. It doesn't get any easier but he is one of the chief contenders. CORIOLAN (3) finished 8 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 2400m at Hannover, an improvement on his fifth at Baden Baden the run before. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SCHONGEIST (4) failed to threaten when fresh from a spell last time out, beaten 22 lengths into eighth over 2400m at Cologne. Should be prominent from the outset. In the mix.
