Some interesting contenders including leading owner's duo Isodon and Statistical, who can both get involved. The mares Victoria Says and Wings Like Arion are also considered along with Out Of The Loop and Celebrity Status, but the one which catches the eye is SYMPA DES FLOS, who was second on his only start in France and has been snapped up by connections who do so well with French imports.
