Formscan - In a competitive Listed handicap, the top weight ALENTEJO (1) could be the answer. He was below par last time but was a good second in a Grade 3 handicap before that over 4300m at this track in late April. ROCK AND ROLL (8) got the job done when scoring at Clairefontaine in mid-August and can give the selection something to think about. GURZUF (6) is an honest performer and is a good each-way option after a win last time at this track in June. NINTH LOCH (3) makes up the shortlist.
