Formscan - MONTEMESOLA (7) caught the eye on debut when a fast-finishing 3rd over 1400m at Compiegne and, on that evidence, should have more to offer over this distance with the benefit of that experience under her belt. FELICIA (5) also finished 3rd on debut, in a newcomers' race at Chantilly, and ought to have improved with that outing, so could fight for victory. AVENUE MONTAIGNE (6), runner-up in both starts this year, has the form and experience to play a leading role too, with the shortlist completed by well-bred MONTE SANCHA (3) who would've come on appreciably after a quiet introductory outing last year.
