Formscan - ALCEDIMZOE (4) has improved with each outing this year and finished an eye-catching 4th on his return to French soil in a better race last time, so is good value to reconnect with success in this opening event. DAZZLE AT DAWN (1) enjoyed a productive 2023 and, having shown his form/well-being in Italy recently, is likely to fight for victory. KEY TO SUCCESS (2) finished a reassuring 2nd in his last outing and need only confirm that improvement to pose a threat, especially at this level. The shortlist is completed by last-start scorer GO WITH THE WIND (6) who ought to remain competitive.
