Formscan - TOLLARD ROYAL (11) is better than his last start at Le Touquet. His penultimate run when fourth over this course and distance catches the eye. With a bit of luck in running, he may be the one to beat. J'AURAIS DU (7) is a winner of his last start over this course and distance. He remains in Class 4 and can follow up with another victory. PINK VALENTINE (13) looked like a winner over this course and distance last time before getting outrun late. If confirming her recent improvement, she should be competitive. THE CAT'S (4) has been racing prominently recently, and it is encouraging that Maxime Guyon keeps faith in the ride.
