A competitive Listed handicap in which the weights are headed by Denomedenuo, who beat JAMES DU BERLAIS three lengths in a similar contest in March. A winner here in November, Robert Collet’s charge is now 8lb better off so is entitled to turn the tables. Mamartre won at Compiegne last time when Pretendante and Vale Quainthe were among the also-rans while there is probably more to come from Raffles Sainte, who can confirm Compiegne running with Loradame. Raf Tavel placed twice at Pau around the turn of the year and is one to note for future reference but Holy Child has been chasing.
