Lyon Parilly Race 1 - Prix Morel-Journel Stakes

MICHAEL THE GREAT (4) Brave effort to win narrowly last time at Saint Cloud. Likely to get back in the run. Will give a big sight. MUENCHEN (2) Chimed in with a win last start at Deauville and gets a favourable draw. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Is in good order and can run well. TESTIFY (1) Did well when 3rd last time at Deauville. Hugo Besnier is a bonus. Won't be far away during the run. In top form this campaign. Fights on bravely so consider. CLEA CHOPE (5) Well beaten when 11th last run at La Teste De Buch but drawn the rails. Likely to get back. Rough hope for punters.
