Maxime Guyon

The Fixer

J: Maxime Guyon
T: F-H Graffard
N/A
Age: 2
Weight: 9-0
OR: N/A
Days: 38

The Fixer is one of the most experienced two-year-olds in this field, as he will be making his sixth appearance on track this weekend. However, he has won just twice during his career, with his standout victory coming over five furlongs in the Prix la Fleche at Chantilly.

The Fixer was disappointing at Royal Ascot on his previous start, as he could only finish tenth in the G2 Norfolk. But, there would be little surprise to see him bounce back.

Clifford Lee

Elite Status

N/A
Age: 2
Weight: 9-0
OR: N/A
Days: 38

Karl Burke-trained Elite Status competes in France on Sunday after winning two from three on British soil this season. The two-year-old colt was last seen finishing third in the G2 Norfolk Stakes behind Valiant Force.

However, things didn’t go to plan that day at Ascot. He remains a high-class horse over five furlongs, having won the Racehorse Lotto National Stakes at Sandown in May by five lengths from World of Darcy. Clifford Lee takes the ride.

Hollie Doyle

Reveiller

J: Hollie Doyle
T: Archie Watson
N/A
Age: 2
Weight: 9-0
OR: N/A
Days: 38

Hollie Doyle’s ride in the Group 3 on Sunday comes onboard Reveiller. The Archie Watson-trained runner has won once from two starts this season, and was last seen finishing seventh in the G2 Norfolk Stakes.

That form leaves him with something to find on Elite Status, but he was a handy winner over five furlongs in late May at Salisbury.

Cristian Demuro

Havana Cigar

J: Cristian Demuro
T: J-C Rouget
N/A
Age: 2
Weight: 9-0
OR: N/A
Days: 29

Cristian Demuro takes the ride on Havana Cigar on Sunday, and this two-year-old could be among the most progressive contenders.

He produced a career-best effort on his previous start to land the Prix de la Croix des Veneurs by five lengths from Gotta Skedaddle.

That performance secured a career-high RPR of 95, which was considerably higher than his debut success over six furlongs at Saint Cloud.

Sajir

J: Mickael Barzalona
T: A Fabre
N/A
Age: 2
Weight: 9-0
OR: N/A
Days: 46

Sajir will be making just his second career start this weekend for trainer Andre Fabre. This son of Make Believe was an excellent winner on debut in June, landing the Prix du Chateau Bouscault in impressive fashion.

He quickly put a gap between himself and the rest of the field, beating Mr Fleurant by two lengths. But, this requires a career-best effort at Deauville.

Ryan Moore

Power Mode

J: Ryan Moore
T: Alice Haynes
N/A
Age: 2
Weight: 9-0
OR: N/A
Days: 24

US-bred Power Mode will be the ride of Ryan Moore in the Group 3 on Sunday. This contender is trained by Alice Haynes, and looked excellent on his first race course start in early July.

He readily ran clear of the field in the British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Stakes to beat Glandford by a length. However, he will need to take a step up in this high-quality company on Sunday.
