Angers

Progressive colt and runaway winner of the G2 German 2000 Guineas. Major step up in class but trainer optimistic of a bold show.

Big Rock

Runner-up when trying to make all in the French Derby (2100m) he drops back in trip. The double G3 winner over 1800m has come far since winning his maiden in an all-weather handicap.

Erevann

Lightly campaigned 4-y-o. Close third last year, winning next time out over the trip in a G2 on Arc weekend at Longchamp. Missed his prep due to a minor injury but sparkled in a workout at track this week.

Good Guess

Won classic trial here over 1400m (Belbek third). Never dangerous in French 2000 Guineas. Showed improvement to land G1 Prix Jean Prat.

Hi Royal

Triple Time's stablemate was placed in the English and Irish Guineas. Back over 1600m after lowkey run at the track over 1400m in the Prix Jean Prat.

Inspiral

The 2022 Marois heroine returns for a quick pick-me-up - she was all at sea on the soft going when last of five in the Sussex Stakes. Connections thrilled with neck defeat by Triple Time at Ascot on her seasonal bow.

Life In Motion

Career-best form when edged out by stablemate over course and distance two weeks ago. A three-time Listed winner from a stable that has won this a record-equaling seven times.

Light Infantry

Runs here before heading off to continue career in Australia. Beaten a neck in this last year. Renews rivalry again with Inspiral and Triple Time when placed behind that pair at Royal Ascot.

Marhaba Ya Sanafi

Emerged from two all-weather wins to cause an upset in the French 2000 Guineas. Subsequently third in the French Derby.

Onesto

Seasonal comeback. Smart 3-y-o career when runner-up in the Irish Champion Stakes, out of luck on testing ground in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe and traffic problems on last run in the Japan Cup.

Triple Time

Struck at 33-1 after a 262 day absence to deny last year's Marois winner Inspiral at Royal Ascot in June. Avoided Sussex Stakes at Goodwood in favour of Deauville's straight mile.
