        In depth

        Verdict

        Aidan O’Brien won this in 2021 and CONTINUOUS looks to have every chance. The latter won a Group 3 in France last year and returned to action with a decent third in the Dante at York when ahead of Epictetus. The latter will appreciate this return to slow ground while the home challenge looks to be led by Big Rock, who easily beat Flight Leader, Rajapour and Padishakh in a Group 3 trial race here last month. The latter pair’s stablemate Ace Impact remains unbeaten and Jean-Claude Rouget has good record in this while Feed The Flame has won both outings so far and is upped in class. Marhaba Ya Sanafi beat the odds-on American Flag when landing the French 2000 Guineas on testing ground at Longchamp and steps up in trip.
