HASANABAD was returning from a year off when finding 1m6f stretching his stamina at Gowran. He travelled well for much of the race so the shorter trip will be in his favour. Rasiym is difficult to weigh up as last year's run in France came on heavy going but Itsalonglongroad is a thoroughly exposed all-weather handicapper. Smart Living is by Teofilo and related to a couple of middle-distance winners and though Dandjira has had experience in France, she's probably vulnerable.
