DROPSHOT (8) is back after a break of six months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at his latest appearance over 1600m at Chantilly. Looks the one to beat. BALBEC (2) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when fourth in a 2000m contest at Pau All Weather five-and-a-half weeks ago. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GREEN CAPE (4) resumes from a spell of five months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1600m at Lyon-Parilly. One of the leading chances. VIVID (5) was well in the market on debut over 1900m at Chantilly All Weather last start and finished fourth, beaten 3 lengths. Shapes as one to consider.
