Seven-times winner Il Pittore is generally thereabouts at this level and the booking of Soumillon is an obvious bonus. What Do You Say has disappointed since making a winning debut on soft ground in 2018 while it's a long time since Quevillon showed any signs of form. ZARIYANO pops up every now and then as he did at Chantilly in August under apprentice Lucie Oger so could be good enough to get back on the winning trail.
