Verdict: NATIONAL SERVICE makes appeal on the strength of his most recent run and is a three-time course winner. Chirimiri and Wild West are also of interest.

Game Run

Jockey: Marvin Grandin Trainer: Elias Mikhalides Age/Wt: 6/9-7 F: 208-62 OR: 42

4/1

Comment: Ran well when beaten three-quarters of a length where he had eight of these rivals behind him three weeks ago on his second outing for this trainer; seven-time winner within the resume (from 5f-7½f) and normally pretty consistent; has to be taken seriously as recent effort was encouraging.

Comment: Ran well to finish third (beaten just over 1l) 22 days ago; winner of three races at this venue; form of the trainer is a plus; big chance if building on promise shown last time and he's won off this mark in the last 12 months.

Verdict: SELF CONTROL is hard to look beyond. She will be worth noting if the subject of support in the betting, while Redoutable, Dreemah and Focus should also be in the mix.

3	Focus Jockey: Maxime Guyon Trainer: Andre Fabre Age/Wt: 2/9-2	2/1
Comment: Has a nice pedigree (by Siyouni); early foal; Andre Fabre newcomers always need to be taken seriously at Chantilly; sire can produce useful types; should figure with signs of encouragement in profile and the current trainer form is another tick.
9	Self Control Jockey: Mickael Barzalona Trainer: Francis-Henri Graffard Age/Wt: 2/8-13	2/1
Comment: February foal; trainer gets debut winners here; sire's progeny have shown a preference for softer goings; no surprise if this grey has a big say as some good aspects to her profile and sire a rich source of sprint winners.
2	Redoutable Jockey: Clement Lecoeuvre Trainer: Francis-Henri Graffard Age/Wt: 2/9-2	9/2
Comment: Course debutants for this yard have to be taken seriously; February foal; should not be far away with signs of encouragement in profile and his sire gets speedy types.
4	Dreemah Jockey: Alexis Pouchin Trainer: Henri F Devin Age/Wt: 2/8-13	5/1
Comment: Trainer among the winners with newcomers in recent seasons; early foal; this daughter of Armor looks the part on breeding; should not be ruled out.
8	Show Set Jockey: Ronan Thomas Trainer: Carlos & Yann Lerner Age/Wt: 2/8-13	9/1
Comment: Bred to get better with time; stable does well here with debutants; market confidence needed to make her of interest.
6	Poetic Flower Jockey: Aurelien Lemaitre Trainer: Tim Donworth Age/Wt: 2/8-13	16/1
Comment: Sire offers hope the distance might suit; February foal; market could reveal prospects.
7	Here I Bow Jockey: Marie Velon Trainer: Florian Guyader Age/Wt: 2/8-13	16/1
Comment: Trainer often leaves something to work on; February foal; worth a look in the market but passed over otherwise.
5	Extravaganza Jockey: Eddy Hardouin Trainer: Louis Baudron Age/Wt: 2/8-13	25/1
Comment: Trainer often leaves something to work on; related to River Lilly (winner from 1m up to 1m2½f); February foal; this one is best watched, unless market signals suggest otherwise as sire's progeny often need further.
1	Ikotofetsy Jockey: Cristian Demuro Trainer: M Andriantsoa Ratsimihah Age/Wt: 2/9-2	33/1

Saint Aquilin

Jockey: Antonio Orani Trainer: Jerome Reynier Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 234-85 OR: 37

12/1

Comment: Has proven competitive in a race of this nature; not beaten too far when fifth of seven three weeks ago (Pont De Vivaux) upped to 1m2f in a conditions race; the trainer continues to be among winners recently; knows how to win so rates a leading contender.
