Versatile as regards ground; French colt whose form on British soil comprises a good third at Royal Ascot and success at Glorious Goodwood last term, both in 1m2f handicaps; beat West Wind Blows by 3l in Group 3 at Longchamp most recently, making it four wins from his last six starts and taking record over 1m4f to 2-2; progressive and may well rate higher still, especially at this trip; faces hotter company upped to this big stage but warrants respect the way he's going.

J: James Doyle

T: S Wattel

Trained in France, where he won a handicap in April (1m2f, good to soft), and he was a 1l third of 15 in the Golden Gates Handicap at Royal Ascot last month (1m2f, good to firm; clear of the fourth) when he had plenty of ground to make up in the straight; respected despite 5lb rise.

Five races in France, progressing well; latest was handicap debut at Longchamp (1m2f) in April in which he passed 14 of his 15 rivals in the last two and a half furlongs to win by 3l; the ground was officially good to soft but times suggested much firmer; promising recruit to the Wathnan team.
