HAVANA CIGAR (2) is back at the races for the first time since October 4. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1400m at Longchamp. Has switched to the Francis-Henri Graffard stable. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. LE TABOU (1) was high in the betting on the back of some good lead-up form but disappointed when beaten 8 lengths into sixth at his last run five months ago over 1300m at Chantilly All Weather. Aurelien Lemaitre sticks. Sure to play a big role. DANELO (7) was safely held when resuming last start over 1400m at Dusseldorf, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths. Will make his presence felt. RAKAN (3) finished third over 1500m at Deauville All Weather at his most recent appearance on November 9. One to consider.
