Sahlan

9st 2lb

J: Mickael Barzalona

T: F-H Graffard

French colt who has low mileage and could well show further improvement in this 4yo campaign; held on narrowly in the Group 1 Moulin at Longchamp (1m, good to soft) then ended 2025 season with creditable fifth to Notable Speech in the Breeders' Cup Mile (firm); interesting in this first British foray.

J: Mickael Barzalona

T: F-H Graffard

French gelding who has a record of 222211 since upped to Group 1 level, latest win coming in the King George at Ascot (1m4f, good); went down by only half a length when favourite for this race 12 months ago (soft) on last 1m2f attempt; major contender, especially if getting a strong pace to aim at.

Facteur Cheval

J: Mickael Barzalona

T: J Reynier

Runner-up in this race in the last two seasons; those were run on soft going but he won a good-ground Group 1 at Meydan last year; failed to stay 1m2f at Royal Ascot latest and has each-way claims now back at 1m.

Quisisana

9st 7lb

J: Mickael Barzalona

T: F-H Graffard

Won six of her first eight starts, on final occasion when she made her first Group 1 attempt a winning one at Deauville (1m2f, good) in August; there's stamina in her pedigree and she went back up to 1m4f for the Arc at Longchamp 13 days ago but faded into ninth, having seemed a bit too revved up in the early stages; she did, however, win easily in a Listed race last June on her only other attempt at this trip; not dismissed.

Rayevka

9st 0lb

J: Mickael Barzalona

T: F-H Graffard

Beaten less than a length in the Commonwealth Cup over C&D (good to firm) in June; that remains her best effort but she probably found 5f too sharp when just denied in Group 3 at Longchamp five weeks ago; still low mileage and unexposed; very interesting contender back under optimum conditions.
