Full Court Press, three times a winner in Ireland, ended a long losing spell at Compiegne in March and won't need much more to get involved here. Koukiboy is generally consistent but hasn't won since making a winning debut in 2017. Ucel gained the fourth victory of his career under today's rider at Pornichet in March and is probably still well in though a wide berth makes this more difficult. Usain Best doesn't win often but likes heavy ground as he showed when scoring at Saint-Cloud in October but in a very tricky handicap a chance is taken with VITABELLA, who hadn't shown much in her early starts last year before completing a double in the spring.
