FAROUT returned to action with a success at Vichy on his handicap debut and beat both By The Way and La Javanaise in the process. There should be plenty more to come from Francis Graffard’s colt over today’s trip and he’s preferred to the more exposed Youmdor. The latter finished ahead of Lionel when second in a handicap at Saint-Cloud and has a shout on that form while several are worth noting handicapping for the first time. Lord Wellington had the measure of Mystery Road when runner-up at Chantilly and Sous Les Nuages represents Andre Fabre’s powerful yard while Christophe Soumillon gets the leg-up on Project Fear.
