Verdict: SURABAD looks the one to back. He is from a yard with a healthy record and has won over this trip before. Croquis and Military Air should also be considered.

Surabad

Jockey: Mickael Barzalona Trainer: Francis-Henri Graffard Age/Wt: 3/9-2 F: 31-31 OR: 46

4/7

Comment: Well on top in a conditions race at Saint-Cloud (very soft) upped to this distance four weeks ago; has won two of his four career runs; yard is ticking along nicely; has strong claims given the strong record of Francis-Henri Graffard in similar races and he can cope with this step up in class.

Croquis

Jockey: Maxime Guyon Trainer: Christophe Ferland Age/Wt: 3/9-2 F: 51

9/2

Comment: Looks the part on breeding (by Pinatubo); registered first success at the second time of asking when in front by just under 2l (Lyon-Parilly) in a maiden last week upped to this distance; must be respected as hails from a stable that tends to do well with this type and he can take this step up in class in his stride.

11/2

Comment: Nicely bred (by Frankel); solid effort three weeks ago at Saint-Cloud in a conditions race; up in distance by an extra 1½f here; booking of Alexis Pouchin takes the eye.

12/1

Comment: Two from four in his career so far; not beaten too far when fourth at Cagnes-sur-Mer in a conditions race in February; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role as this looks tougher than last time.
