Race Overview
ISTANBLUE (1) is making his French debut and had decent placed form in the UK last year. He is preferred over stable companion AL AMEED (7) who was second on his last start in the UK at Chelmsford on the artificial surface in late October and is also making his French debut for trainer Aimee Murphy who is now training in France. LYNX WESTMINSTER (13) has faired well on the PSF recently and can be involved. LORIA (11) looks best of the remainder.
