There looks to be plenty of hopeful entries rather than genuine contenders this year including the Ballydoyle pair Order Of Australia, fourth in last week's Irish Derby behind three stablemates, and Fort Myers, well beaten in the Irish 2000 Guineas. Mishriff steps up massively in class after an easy victory in a Newmarket Listed contest while the unbeaten Port Guillaume has yet to contest a pattern race. Pao Alto had Ocean Atlantique one-and-a-half-lengths behind when landing a Group 3 over 1m1f at Longchamp in May and though the longer trip will suit the latter the winner wasn't stopping and the form can be confirmed. Andre Fabre trains the runner-up and appears to hold all the aces with VICTOR LUDORUM. Last year's top juvenile put a return defeat behind him with an impressive performance in the French 1000 Guineas and his pedigree suggests he could be even better over today's trip.
