FormscanBy Mark Nunan - DUKE DE SESSA came back to form when landing a Group 3 at Leopardstown in September and ran equally well when going down by just half a length over a longer trip in a Group 2 at Longchamp on Arc weekend. He’s very effective on soft ground and can defy a penalty as he drops in class. Yaxeni is an admirable filly with a fine track record. She won the November Handicap over 2m on this card a year ago and recorded her third win at Listed level this year with a course and distance success last month. Conditions will suit and she looks sure to give a good account. A dual winner in France, Inuit has yet to score for current connections but was third a couple of times at this level during the summer. He went close off a hefty mark in handicap company on his penultimate start but testing ground is a concern for him.
