Most of these have been active on the all-weather though not Maximum Aurelius, who scored over the trip at Machecoul in February. A high draw won't aid his cause while Alfieri, who won three claimers earlier in the year, the last two on the all-weather, could also have done with a lower berth. Rajkumar made a successful reappearance on the all-weather at Chantilly but ended the last campaign as runner-up to SHIELDING, who will have benefited from a run at Toulouse in February and gets the vote. Kihavahfushi has been in fine form and should get a nice run up the inside so has to be a threat. Leonio scored on the Polytrack at Deauville in March and Maxime Guyon takes over from an apprentice.
