JOYCE DU VAL (4) scored at La Capelle three runs ago but has been unplaced in two subsequent runs, the latest when fourth over 2600m at Nancy, beaten 6.3L. Must raise the bar but she has the ability to test this field. JANGA DU BELLAY (5) put the writing on the wall two runs ago then improved further at her latest appearance when she scored by 0.8L over 2300m at Marseille-Borely. Steps up a level but she is capable of running another big race. JADE DE PAME (6) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 2800m at Vichy three-and-a-half weeks ago. JAVA DE ROUAISSE (1) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound third at Marseille-Borely over 2300m.
