ZEKRET (1) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1600m at Deauville five-and-a-half months ago and has not been produced since. Has plenty of upside and can win again. WITHOUT (4) was a narrow winner by 0.8 lengths at Deauville All Weather two back then third at Listed level at this track last time. Down in the weights on last run. Expected to be in the finish on recent form. CHAUNCEY GARDINER (5) is a promising type who scored at his only run last prep four-and-a-half months ago over 1800m at Lyon-la-Soie. Has never been out of the placings first up from two tries. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Should be involved in the finish. MARCHON (3) scored on debut last start over 1900m at Chantilly All Weather on 4/03/2025, finishing 0.8 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. One of the better chances.
