Bayshore Freeway has won two handicaps at this trip on fast going so deserves a crack at this grade. Alexana should stay the trip judging on her all-the-way victory over 1m4f at Ascot in September while stable companion Dramatic Queen, who completed a double when landing a Listed contest on Polytrack at Lingfield in November, will be better for her run at Longchamp. ENBIHAAR was impressive when making all in a Goodwood Listed contest and should have no problems with the longer trip so looks the one to be on. Pilaster beat Maid Up a short-head in a Goodwood Group 2 over this trip in August but was very disappointing on her comeback at Nottingham and the latter may be capable of reversing the form.
