BUFFALO WOMAN (12) returned from a spell two-and-a-half weeks ago when she was beaten 3.5 lengths into sixth over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. LOUIS DEUX (1) made progress last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1800m at Le Croisé-Laroche. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. YOUNG AND PROUD (2) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just two times from 25 starts. Was again denied last start when he found one better over 1800m at Le Croisé-Laroche. In the right race and there is no reason he cannot get the major prize. ABLAZE (4) returned from a spell two months ago when he was beaten 9 lengths into ninth over 2100m at Pornichet. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
