WAZLAW (5) proved too strong two runs ago at Baden Baden. Couldn't follow that up last time out when ninth over 2200m at Munich, beaten 16 lengths. Enjoys a drop in grade so he is a major player. LOUVRE (9) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at Cologne but raced below expectations last time over 2400m at Cologne, finishing 13th and beaten 27 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. WARIYANO (3) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 15 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 2400m at Baden Baden, beaten 4.5 lengths. In the right race and there is no reason he cannot get the major prize. NACHTHIMMEL (1) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 2800m at Munich. Won't find this as tough so he is a major player.
