Monarch Of The Sea (FR) Ran 5th in a Maiden over 2200m at Chantilly on 28 June. He has the experience and a victory has to be close. Vocaliste (IRE) Ran 3rd in Conditions Handi-cap over 1800m at Dieppe on 7 July. That was a good debut just behind Kalahani who has franked that form. Arabian Fever (FR) Ran 2nd in a Maiden over 2200m at Dieppe on 7 July. He showed potential as a 2YO and recently made an encouraging comeback. The French Son Ran 4th in a Maiden over 2400m at Dieppe on 7 July. A win should not be far off but this might not yet be his day.

Volcano (FR) Ran 2nd in a Maiden over 1600m at Compiegne on 24 July. He has run well in both of his starts and stands out in this field.

Toogoodforschool (FR) Won a Handicap over 1600m at Vichy on 19 July. She is in top form and is unlikely to be troubled by her five-pound penalty.

Rumpleteazer (FR) Ran 2nd in a Handicap over 1400m at Vichy on 16 July. She is on the up which her run last time reflects. Proletariat (FR) Ran 6th in a Handicap over 1400m at Vichy on 16 July.
