Formscan  - Having struggled in a couple of Grade 1's, most recently the Triumph here last month, SAINTE LUCIE looks fairly treated from a mark of 131 now sent handicapping and it would come as no surprise were Willie Mullins' filly to bounce back. Fellow title chaser Dan Skelton is represented by Doncaster winner Our Lil, who, from the foot of the handicap, looks capable of further improvement. Others to note include Maxios Prime and Matwana.
