Clairefontaine Race 7 - Prix Ville De Pont-L'eveque Stakes
VARDIF (1) was set some lofty tasks as a juvenile after getting off to a positive start. Was a disappointing sixth of eight runners in a similar event on reappearance. Much better expected now with fitness on his side. TORNADO ALLEY (4) has enjoyed some success in a light campaign. Made all to land a 1400m Longchamp handicap in April. Switched yards since defeated 0.75L in follow up attempt. Serious threat. RAISE THE POINT (3) managed to take a marked step forward to score a Mont-de-Marsan maiden three weeks ago by 3L (1400m). Meets some better opposition but can raise the bar. NO TURNING BACK (12) remains unexposed and can certainly play a role.

Second-up. First-up after 10 months 6th of 8 at Le Lion-d'angers on August 2 over 1400m, 3 len behind Remenber Chope with 57.5kg at $2. Previously second-up ran last of 9 in the G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp on October 5 over 1400m, on a slow track; 13 len behind Puerto Rico carrying 57kg at $26. Will take a lot from that run and looks tough to beat.

Is first-up after a break of ten weeks and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign second of 14 at Longchamp June 11 over 1400m, 0.8 len behind Tissimo with 60kg at $9.90. When resuming last campaign third of 11 at Chantilly All Weather January 10 over 1600m, 1.5 len behind Bocca Al Lupo carrying 56.5kg at $6.90. Great chance.
