Avenue Montaigne

Jockey: Maxime Guyon Trainer: Francis-Henri Graffard Age/Wt: 4/9-3 F: 21332- OR: 39

15/8

Comment: Has been fairly consistent this year and hails from a good trainer; ran well to finish runner-up (beaten 1½l) at Saint-Cloud (heavy) in November; returns from a layoff here; the yard continues to be among winners recently; warrants plenty of respect.

Alva

Jockey: Cristian Demuro Trainer: Fabrice Chappet Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 56-55 OR: 36

6/1

Comment: Not disgraced when fifth over 7f here (handicap) last month; finished ahead of Forcefull but was behind Remama; track has proven suitable before; looks likely to go well as recent effort was encouraging.

7/1

Comment: Beaten narrowly over 7f here (handicap) last month; has been fairly consistent this year; if she is able to build on her most recent effort then one to be interested in.

7/1

Comment: Finishing second was a good effort over 7f at Saint-Cloud (handicap) last month; quite a while since she tasted success; not hard to turn elsewhere.

7/1

Comment: Has winning track form; finished in front of Alva and Forcefull over 7f here (handicap) when fourth, beaten less than a length three weeks ago; jockey booking heightens interest; in the mix if replicating the best of her form.

9/1

Comment: Finished seventh but only beaten 1½l over 7f here (handicap) last month; stepped up on her last two starts; this looks a decent race so may have to settle for supporting role at best.

16/1

Comment: Did well from an unfavourable draw when landing a handicap over 1m1f by half a length at Marseille-Borely 45 days ago; big hike in the weights looks justified so shouldn't be far away.

Comment: Beaten seventh of 12 over 1m1f at Marseille-Borely (handicap) 45 days ago; she has a shout with her operating off a reduced mark - return to this trip is a plus too.

Comment: Finished sixth but only beaten just under 3l when close behind Aversa (Cagnes-sur-Mer) six weeks ago; not been able to get her head in front lately so hard enough to fancy.

Freja

Jockey: Stephane Pasquier Trainer: Fabrice Chappet Age/Wt: 6/9-6 F: 31504- OR: 41

20/1

Comment: Has a confirmed liking for soft conditions; normally pretty consistent; fair effort (beaten 3l) four months ago; layoff to overcome; more than capable if on song so cannot be ignored.

Joh Spirit

25/1

Comment: Creditable effort to finish fifth, beaten just over 2l in a Listed race (Saint-Cloud, heavy) last month; has managed six wins from 28 career runs; dropping in class now and should give it a bold bid.

40/1

Comment: Finished out the back (very soft, ParisLongchamp) in October upped to 1m2f; has managed three wins from 13 career runs; returns from a layoff; makes her debut for new stable; facing a testing assignment and unlikely to trouble the principals.
