Houselady failed to threaten last year but Maxime Guyon takes over the reins on her handicap debut and much better is expected. But DIONYSOS arrives fresh from last week’s meeting at Longchamp when finishing a creditable fourth and he should make a bold bid in a weak handicap if running up to the same level. Rajastare was thereabouts when last at the this venue in November but the remainder fail to inspire confidence with New Dream perhaps best of them.
