STARLORD (2) is back after a break of five months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at his latest appearance over 1900m at Deauville All Weather. Has ability and sure to prove tough to beat. ASMARANI (9) is on debut for the Francis-Henri Graffard stable. Three-year-old colt by Sottsass from Azama. Should acquit himself well. Keep an eye out for any positive market movement. BIG DREAM CEN (8) finished a head from the winner in second on debut over 2000m at Lyon-Parilly on October 31 and has not appeared since. Will be better for that experience so another bold showing is expected. KELCE (6) was well fancied on debut last start and was not far off the mark, finishing third and beaten 1.75 lengths over 1900m at Chantilly All Weather. Improver worth including.
