COGOLIN (2) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing third over 2100m at Chantilly last time out. Backmarker who gets home hard. Will be tough to hold out. SWEET DIANA (8) finished fifth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 2000m at Lyon-Parilly, beaten only 0.8 lengths. Has the ability to take this out. ALCALA (9) returned last time with a solid second at Evreux over 1800m. Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. ARIGATO (3) was safely held when sixth last time out over 2100m at Chantilly, beaten 5 lengths, after a win at Wissembourg at the previous outing. One of the main hopes.
