Several return from lay-offs including maiden winner American Tap and Afficionado, who won twice in France last year and debuts for a new trainer. Fast Scene won a stakes races in 2019 and has every chance if ready for action but Compensate has drawn high today after finishing runner-up here in March ahead of third-placed FOOLISH HUMOR. The latter has the more favourable draw on this occasion and is taken to turn the tables with Irad Ortiz doing the steering.
