Formscan - Surprisingly sanctioned in the Gr.1 Prix de Vincennes mid-December, LIONHEART (10) set the record straight 3 weeks later with a convincing Gr.3 Prix d'Enghien victory and although unseen in public since, he will have been specifically prepared for this and looks a marginally better bet than LITTLE ORELIE (12) who has been simply superb since, and a reconfigured and fresh LEXIE DE BANVILLE (13) who starts for the first time since winning the Prix de Vincennes. Consistently in the thick of things, LISBONNE DRY (8) put on a good show behind Paul Ploquin in the Gr.2 Prix Louis le Bourg and will again be competitive for a place in the frame.
