Formscan - STRAKO (3) ran on well to finish just out of the money in a handicap at Le Mans recently but that would've teed him up nicely ahead of this return to the claiming category, in which he has won and finished 2nd from as many outings on the PSF. PACO (2) is drawn wide but is efficient over the mile and has won under Maryline Eon, so could pose a threat along with RAIKU (1) who has won three of his last four starts. Enigmatic AROWN (5) is the highest-rated runner and has won on this track, so can't be underestimated either.
