Rochenka has been unable to add to her four career victories since landing a claimer a year ago but has run well on soft ground the last twice. Pole Celeste won a claimer at Chantilly in February then was beaten a short-head in a handicap on a return visit the following month so is greatly respected. Lodi has won three claimers this year but now looks a bit high in the weights but LILI SPIRIT, a winner on soft ground at Angers in October, made a bright start for her new yard when beaten a neck at Deauville in February and may be good enough. Iggy Chop may prove best of the remainder.
