Verdict

Fabrice Vermeulen saddles the top two in a wide-open handicap. Both are fit from the all-weather so it’s difficult to choose between the pair with Maxime Guyon riding Matandar and Cristian Demuro on Richemont. TOP MAX only won once in 2019, at Le Lion d’Angers, but also placed at Longchamp, Chantilly and Maisons-Laffitte and the Joshua Tree gelding might be the one to beat if fully wound-up as he’s better off at the weights than when beaten a short-neck by Moonlight Symphony on his final start. Kiev is well drawn, near the foot of the weights and ended last year with a win on the all-weather at Deauville so could play a part and a case can also be made for Hallalulu and Reliable Son.
