Arapaho had no problems landing a couple of minor races but was beaten when odds-on at Deauville by Happy Bere, who hasn't won in five subsequent starts. SUJET LIBRE (NAP) completed an early season double before catching a real 'live one' in subsequent Group 1 winner Alson at Clairefontaine. He looked like landing a Group 3 here in September but was caught close home and looks the type to have a good second campaign. Tibasti has only run on the all-weather so far though has a decided fitness advantage while Mageva made a successful debut in July so the lack of a recent run may not be a problem. Golden Boy looks best of the remainder.
