CAMILLE PISSARRO made it 2-2 on going softer than good when shading a tight finish in a French Group 1 last autumn and is taken to defy a penalty on his return against older and more exposed opposition aside from his maiden-winning stablemate. Big Gossey added to his many good efforts at this venue when third in a handicap off 105 a couple of weekends ago and is second choice ahead of Karl Burke raider Poet Master, who landed the Group 2 Minstrel here last season.
