Verdict
FROHSIM ended 2019 with a course and distance success and has shown further progress this year winning both outings so far including a Class 1 conditions race at Deauville last time. Christophe Ferland’s colt should be at home in this higher grade and gets the vote. Fantastic Spirit scored at Cagnes back in February and is another likely to figure on that form but Again Music will need to improve having struggled at Toulouse in March. Coco Caline drops down in trip and is upped in class after winning at Pornichet though is still preferred to maiden winner Sayidah Kodiac and To Fly Free.
