2nd of 8 on debut in a 2250m Enghien Class D a fortnight back. Will have come on for the run and even though in better company this time, can still finish in first 5

Steps up in category and debuts under the saddle after winning a 2825m Cordemais Class E 3 weeks ago but may just be biting off more than he can chew

3rd of 7 finishers to MESSI PASS (5) in a 2200m Class B here late last month but in this company will struggle to repeat

3rd of 8 to METEORE DE SIMM (6) in 2200m Gr.3 Prix Edouard Marcillac here on 14 February. Is unproven over main track but has evident talent and is unlikely to disappoint

Easily won a 2200m Class B here on 28 February after having run 4th in race of reference. Eric Raffin back in the saddle and will be expected to play a prominent part

Undefeated in 2 starts under the saddle, latterly winning 2200m Gr.3 Prix Edouard Marcillac with authority here on 14 February and will justifiably garner the lion's share of support

Won 2 over course and distance before running 2nd of 8 to METEORE DE SIMM (6) in 2200m Gr.3 Prix Edouard Marcillac here on 14 February. Unlikely to beat Mottier's colt but can nevertheless apply the pressure

Race Overview
Useful under harness but simply superb in the ridden discipline, METEORE DE SIMM (6) ran away with the Gr.3 Prix Edouard Marcillac here mid-February and a similar performance would see him win this. Runner-up to him that day, MHUM FLYNG (7) again looks the main threat. MESSI PASS (5) came 4th, just behind MINDELO (4), then opened his account 2 weeks later and will be expected to turn the tables.
Selection:
6 - 7 - 5
