JNEIL DE BANVILLE (2) is clearly a horse of considerable ability, though he remains inexperienced and somewhat temperamental. It could be a case of all-or-nothing, but his talent is unquestionable. NAMMOS BEACH CLUB (11) made a highly impressive winning debut on turf, scoring with plenty in hand. A repeat of that effort would make him a major contender despite the change of surface. NAPOLEON (3) would almost certainly have finished much closer at Cabourg had he not broken stride. He is well worth another chance. NUAGE DU RABUTIN (13) holds the advantage of previous experience over this course, a factor that could prove decisive in a competitive contest.
