A cracking listed sprint which could go the way of the improving SONGHAI, who didn't enjoy the best of runs when an excellent third in similar company at Deauville and can gain an overdue second success now. Several others make lots of appeal, headed by the smart handicapper Valiant Force who rates a big danger. Fregada has more to offer after just two runs and can also have a say, while the returning duo Two Stars and Bounty shouldn't be dismissed easily either.
