    Daryz

    Stall 5 · 15/8

    Daryz returns to defend the crown he won on very soft ground last year, and he arrives in fine order, having taken the Prix Ganay, Prix d'Ispahan and Prix Foy at Longchamp this season, his only defeat a close third at Ascot. Mickael Barzalona rides from stall five.

    Saddadd

    Stall 9 · 40/1

    Roger Varian's four-year-old has climbed from handicaps to Group 1 company, winning the Gordon Richards at Sandown and finishing a close third in the Tattersalls Gold Cup. All his recent runs came at around ten furlongs, so this 2,400-metre test poses a fresh question.

    Alicja Karkosa's four-year-old was beaten just 0.3 lengths in the Grand Prix de Deauville last time, having won at Vichy before that. Both his recent wins came on heavy ground, though, and his only run on good this year saw him fifth of six at Lyon.

    Japanese raider who has won the Takarazuka Kinen at Hanshin for the last two years, most recently in June after a second in the Osaka Hai. Yutaka Take rides, and an RPR of 133 makes him a serious player, though stall 13 is a wide draw to overcome.

    Arrow Eagle

    Stall 14 · 150/1

    Arrow Eagle was beaten under a length when sixth in last year's Arc, then won the Prix Royal-Oak, both on very soft ground. His half-length third at Deauville last time was encouraging, but stall 14 is wide and good ground poses a different question.

    Bay City Roller

    Stall 15 · 40/1

    Bay City Roller proved himself at the top level when landing the Coronation Cup at Epsom in June, and his second in the Prix Foy over this course and trip on his return was a solid Arc trial; stall 15 is a hurdle, but he's a genuine contender.
