Verdict: CANDELARI is yet to taste defeat and Francis-Henri Graffard-trained runners always warrant respect. Annabel's Ghost and Internaute also merit consideration.

Candelari

Jockey: Mickael Barzalona Trainer: Francis-Henri Graffard Age/Wt: 4/8-14 F: 1-11 OR: 48

6/4

Comment: Won a conditions race by just over 1l at Chantilly last month; lightly raced (this just his fourth race); unbeaten after three career runs; form of the stable is a plus; respected as runners from this trainer always deserve respect and he can cope with this step up in class.

8/1

Comment: Narrow success in a Listed race (Deauville) in December; came home fourth latest; admirable career strike-rate (four from 13 to date) but wins have come at a lower level; others have more pressing claims.

10/1

Comment: He thrives on softer goings; comes here off the back of a hat-trick; narrow winner of a Listed race (very soft) at Saint-Cloud four weeks ago.

Comment: A respectable runner-up of ten over 1m7½f here (conditions race) last Thursday; has won previously at this course; facing a tougher assignment than last time, passed over.

Jockey: Jerome Moutard Trainer: Bruno Audouin Age/Wt: 5/9-1 F: 0131-3 OR: 47

33/1

Comment: Wins-runs record of 5-20 but yet to win a race of this value; far from disgraced (beaten 1½l) in a Listed race (very soft) at Saint-Cloud when third behind Bel et Bien last month upped to this distance; in-form jockey up; this represents a step up in class so others more appealing.

Annabel's Ghost

Jockey: Alexis Pouchin Trainer: Andre Fabre Age/Wt: 4/8-14 F: 169-31 OR: 40

40/1

Comment: Landed a narrow success in a conditions race when back to 1m5f at Fontainebleau 15 days ago; has done all his winning at a lower level but admirable career strike-rate (three from 11 to date); Alexis Pouchin a noteworthy booking; this represents a step up in class but has to be considered.
