Chantilly Race 2 - Darshaan Stakes - Awt
Placed at the highest level last year NEW GROUND (7) disappointed finishing 3.25L fifth in the 2000m Listed Grand Prix du Nord on turf here in October.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of four-and-a-half months. Finished off last campaign fifth of 7 at Chantilly in the LR October 27 over 2000m, soft track; 3.5 len behind Azimpour carrying 57kg at $3.70. First up last campaign third of 7 at Longchamp in the G3 Prix La Force April 6 over 1800m, 1.2 len behind Cualificar with 58kg at $7.70. Yet to miss the top three when fresh from a spell and is among the better chances.
