A winner over track on trip on debut for Andre Fabre, Vautrin has been running on the all-weather over the winter and could go close to a second career success. His yard also run Shams Brazilero, who won on Polytrack here in February. LOQUEN showed ability in his first season and it was no surprise when he justified favouritism over 7f on Polytrack here on his reappearance. This is a slightly better race but there is probably more to come and Arnaud Muste takes off a valuable 3lb. Noordhout completed a double at Maisons-Laffitte in the autumn but the handicapper then took charge and it’s difficult to see him winning again off his current mark. Parigote is much better on artificial surfaces.
