JOKLA (7) showed ability at her only start back on September 29 when third over 1600m at Lyon-Parilly. Likely improver and looks the one to beat. MARQUES (1) made it five minor placings in a row last start when second over 1600m at Toulouse. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. HONEYFLOWER (9) is a superbly bred three-year-old filly lining up for the first time. By Kingman from the former top race mare Tulips who has produced some fine gallopers, including a winner at G1 level. BLUE LILAS (6) is back after a break of five months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at her latest appearance over 1400m at Pau All Weather. Has ability so don't underestimate.
