A dual Group 1 winner, MOGUL has yet to race over today’s trip having stepped straight up to 1m4f last year. But the Ballydoyle colt has the proven class having beaten subsequent Arc runner-up In Swoop when landing the Grand Prix de Paris here last year with Gold Trip back in third and should also have the beating of the German raider Wonderful Moon on that form. Andre Fabre runs two with the less exposed Mare Australis preferred to Magny Cours as the former finished ahead of Monty and Ecrivain when runner-up in a Group 2 here last month.
