In depth

Verdict

A strong UK presence though Art Power saves his best for the Curragh nowadays and won over the minimum trip at the latter track last month. Clifford Lee sticks with Cold Case but Maxime Guyon takes over the reins on stablemate SPYCATCHER who landed a Group 3 sprint over 6f here in good style last time and will relish the testing ground. Rohaan was only fourth in this last year though Sandrine has won on heavy going in the past while Brad The Brief is preferred to Wokingham winner Saint Lawrence if rediscovering his best. King Gold finished well ahead of both Fort Payne and Egot when winning a Group 3 over 7f at Longchamp in June.
