Sprung a bit of a surprise when winning a group 2 at Deauville when last seen in August.
Had ran fairly well without ever really threatening to win in four starts prior to that this season.
Deauville win is something to build on but will need to improve again to win this under a penalty.
Has ran really well in three of his four starts this season. Only disappointment came when 6th behind Inspiral in the Jacques Le Marois.
Bounced back from that to get within 1 1/2 lengths of Sauterne in the Prix Du Moulin at this track.
Steps slightly back up in trip here and wears first time blinkers.
Big Player
Just touched off in the group 2 Prix Foy over 1m 4f when last seen 20 days ago.
Drops markedly down in distance here and doubt he will be good enough to win this.

Been a star for connections and bagged a $2 million bonus when winning out in Kentucky last time out.
Prior to that absolutely bolted up in a handicap at Glorious Goodwood.
Is versatile regards to ground and owes connections nothing but feel he needs more if he is to win here.
Hasn't won since August last year but has been competing in some good races.
Will run well but another who needs to show significantly more if he is to win this.

Been very consistent this year winning two listed races before just being touched off twice in group 3 company.
Form of those races gives him a chance in this and he is a solid each way player.
Has won 5 of his 7 career starts so far.
Finished behind the very talented Big Rock (3x group 1 placed since) in his only 2 defeats.
In flying form at the minute winning a group 3 over this course last time out to make it three wins on the spin.
Definitely the one to beat.
Not seen since finishing 6th in the Prix Du Jockey Club 100 days ago.
Prior to that had finished last of 7 in a group 3 at Chantilly.
Trained by a genius and interesting he pitches him in here on his comeback but he needs to of improved significantly for the time off to win this.
Was touted as a potential superstar when winning on his seasonal comeback at Saint Cloud.
Followed that up by beating French 2000 Guineas winner Marhaba Ya Sanafi by 2 lengths in a group 3 at Longchamp.
Has been a bit dissapointing since though when 4th behind that rival in the Guineas and then 9th of 11 in the Prix Du Jockey club.
Not seen since that but an interesting runner if he can bounce back.
