Caen

NICKEL CHROME (8) comes from a strong team and in his second run back after a lengthy break he should give a good account of himself. His form prior to the break is very encouraging. NIGER DU VIVIER (4) was challenging for the lead when he was disqualified last time and can get it right with more experience. NOBLE SUPREME (2) qualified with high expectations and was then off for eight months, while another newcomer, NOAH DES MALBERAUX (1), is well bred and deserves respect.
