LALDANN (3) Ran 2nd last run at the track. A Pollioni is a crucial engagement. Is in good order and can run well. YOUNES (5) Won by a huge margin last start here and back over extra ground. Jan Faltejsek has a high strike rate on board. Go close. ALMOST HUMAN (1) Competitive effort when 2nd last run at this venue and going back up in trip. Keep in mind. GRAND DE THAIX (2) Towards the tail last time here. Capable of a strong comeback. Should muster plenty of early speed. Keep an eye on the market for any leads.

Gave nothing else a chance when winning last start here and stepping back up in trip. Jockey Jan Faltejsek is very comfortable steering and has drawn the rails. One of the value chances in this race.
