The Group One Prix Du Jockey Club looks to be a cracker this year and with that in mind we have picked out too strong selections that should go close
The first is the Charlie Appleby trained Modern Games for Charlie Appleby who is looking to pick up a fourth Classic event of the season for his handler.
Modern Games holds leading form claims in this event having his first run of the season off the back of a sensational juvenile campaign.
Needing his first experience on a racecourse at Haydock, he learnt plenty and got off the mark at the second time of asking at Newmarket over 7f.
Sent to Leicester he was a narrow second to Leicester with the ground having a bit of juice in the ground, but he returned to winning ways in a Nursery Handicap at Doncaster.
Rounding off his season in England he scored again at Newmarket in the Group Three Tattersalls Stakes, taking his first black type event.
Appleby sent him to the Breeders' Cup meeting at Del Mar off the back of that run for his first taste of Group One Company and under a superb ride by William Buick he went on to land the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf.
Making his seasonal debut this term the three year old made an emphatic start to the season landing the French 2000 Guineas with a bit in hand.
Only set to improve for that run the colt now moves up 2f in trip for this event and if in the same form could be tough to beat.
Stall 13 is a worry with it being historically difficult to win from there, but he looks the class horse in the field.
