BOTTLEOFSMOKE (2) returns from a layoff of six months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 2500m at this track. Sure to make his presence felt. LISAC (1) is a promising galloper who resumes from a break. Last raced when third over 2050m at Krefeld four-and-a-half months ago. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Leading contender. LE BEAU ROCK (3) comes here off a break of six months. Scored over 2500m at this track to launch the last campaign. Definite top-three chance. AMELY ADVENTURE (5) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing eighth at Dortmund over 1800m. Tackling a more suitable race this time so she is perfectly placed to score.
