Fire Dancer made a winning start at Compiegne on heavy going in November and there is no reason why he won’t handle this better ground. But he does have a penalty and there are a few in this with similar scope. GRAND MONSIEUR is one having finished second when quietly fancied at Pau at the start of the year. Granted normal improvement, he could go one better today. Jarry Mont came good at Fontainebleau in February but Bright Vision is a bit more exposed and steps up in grade after scoring at Saint Brieuc. Gizzeria looks the pick of the fillies having found only one too good here in March with Galopin Des Champs and Another Man most interesting among the newcomers.
