AVYAAN (3) performed above expectations last time over 1750m at Hannover, getting the prize by a head. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Sure to be in the finish. ASKALON (1) is in fine form and hasn't missed the frame in his past five starts. Last time out he finished third over 1600m at Dusseldorf. Leading contender. ASKER (2) comes here off a break of four-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1500m at Mulheim. One to consider. BAPP (4) ran below expectations last start, finishing 11th and beaten 12 lengths at Hannover over 1750m. Well placed to turn things around.
