Axdavali finished ahead of Go Athletico when runner-up in this last year and the latter was also beaten by Fang at Saint-Cloud in June. Amilcor won in this grade over track and trip on his penultimate start but the three-year-old ROZGAR is progressing well having landed a hat-trick before running well in the Prix Jean Prat at Deauville and Francis Graffard’s colt can return to winning ways in this lower grade. Ever Given represents the UK though will need to step up on his fourth in the Supreme Stakes at Goodwood.
