Pleasant Hope’s best efforts have been on the all-weather so far but Samwell won at Cagnes in January and could go well. Fire At Midnight finished a close-up third last time but this is tougher and Reine De Lune is preferred having won at Deauville at the start of the year and placing on the all-weather here last time. But MYBOYGILLES finished in front of Lucky Bird when third at Deauville on his latest start and may prove the one to side with partnered by Christophe Soumillon today.
