If fit after nearly seven months off the track, EQUIPE DE NUIT can land this, but Head Down and Super Academy would also come into calculations. Runner up on his two previous outings, the latter was a tougher contest and represented an improvement for Stuart Williams, and the booking of Jamie Spencer catches the eye. He's reasonably well drawn too. That's even more the case for Head Down, the most exposed here. Rarely out of the first three, he's nought from ten now as he keeps finding one or two too good. Sooner or later though, he should find a race at this level. Super Academy was runner up on debut last month at Wolverhampton after conceding ground early on and then not finding a gap. The experience will have done her good, and connections will be looking to recoup the 90 thousand Euro they paid for her. Primera Rossi is the one newcomer and any market support should be noted. Indeed that's the case for any of these, but we'll side with Equipe De Nuit.
