Skalleti progressed nicely through the ranks in 2019 and ended the year with a couple of victories in Group 2 company. He has leading claims dropping back down in trip for his reappearance while Anodor also returns to action having failed to match his smart two-year-old form last season. Group 2 winner Plumatic has switched yards having raced just twice last year but stablemate Silver Quartz beat Lucky Team at Deauville back in January and finished ahead of Impulsif when scoring over track and trip in March. The latter is one of two Godolphin representatives for Andre Fabre but Mickael Barzalona sticks with stable companion NATURE’S COLORS (NAP) having returned to action with an impressive Listed success at Deauville and he gets the vote with plenty of scope for further progress. Stunning Spirit and Pretreville look to have a bit to find in this company.
