SALT FLAKE (1) opened this campaign last start with a second, beaten 4 lengths, over 2400m at Pornichet. Has the right credentials. WEMATCH (3) continues to race well with a win two back at Pornichet before finishing 1.75 lengths away in third last time over 2900m at Senonnes-Pouancé. Arnaud Bourgeais who has three wins when partnering stays on. Expecting a bold showing. KING KARA (5) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was beaten 5 lengths into fourth over 2900m at Senonnes-Pouancé. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. MIRADOR (7) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on 14/12/2024, finishing 14th and beaten 14 lengths over 2500m at Deauville All Weather. Has to be respected.
