Waldemar Hickst will try to improve on his fifth place from the Prix Belle de Nuit (Group 3) with Normfliegerin (Mickael Barzalona) for the Wittekindshof Stud. Pavel Vovcenko`s Lubiane (Marie Velon) is aiming for a good place after two difficult tasks in the Prix du Cadran (Group 1) and the Silver Horse (Group 3). Control Tower (Stephane Pasquier), who had no opportunities in the Prix de Royallieu (Group 1), but before that showed a good performance in the Prix Kergorlay (Group 2) when finishing fifth, has to be beaten.
