Verdict

Last year's top juvenile Victor Ludorum produced a lacklustre performance on his comeback in a Longchamp Group 3 three weeks ago, finding nothing in the closing stages behind all-the-way winner The Summit and the strong-finishing ECRIVAIN with Kenway, who didn't get the best of runs, upsides in fourth. Andre Fabre's charge will need to do a lot better if he's to redeem his reputation though it was a messy sort of race and he pulled for his head. He had just under a length to spare over Alson in the Group 1 Jean-Luc Lagarde at Longchamp in October and the latter, who has changed stables, then beat sole rival Armory by 20 lengths on very heavy ground in the Group 1 Criterium International. Arapaho, yet another from the Fabre yard and owned by Coolmore, had a battle to land a Listed contest at Longchamp last month and takes a big step-up in class. ECRIVAIN ran a seriously good trial at Longchamp, staying on late with his rider not touching him, and that kindness can be repaid here.
