Henry Adams won a Group 3 at Leopardstown in July but Ryan Moore partners stablemate Unquestionable. Native American landed a valuable sales race on a trip over to the Curragh while Ballymount Boy ran well in both the Vintage and Acomb Stakes. Listed winner Rosallion failed to land the odds on soft ground in the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster while Newmarket novice winner Jayarebe is thrown in at the deep end with Frankie taking over the reins. German raider West Man was only third in a Group 3 last time but the home challenge is led by the unbeaten BEAUVATIER. The latter beat subsequent Group 3 winner Zabiari before taking care of Evade in a trial race over 7f here and Yann Barberot’s colt should make a bold bid.
