France's best stayer. Won the Group I Prix Royal-Oak last year and has been carefully aimed at this race ever since. Races beyond 3100m for the first time but looks better than ever, having won consecutive Group II events - the latest over 3000m at Deauville on 18 August

Race Overview
High-quality renewal, despite the small field size. Back to his best after an injury-enforced layoff, KYPRIOS (2) has won all 5 starts this year and completed a Group I hat-trick when scoring in the Irish St Leger last month. He was a brilliant victor of this race in 2022 and is good value to reclaim his prize and extend his sequence of top-level successes. DOUBLE MAJOR (4) has been specifically aimed at this race and France's leading stayer should prove a worthy adversary. TRUESHAN (3), a two-time winner of this event, and familiar foe COLTRANE (1) are proven performers at this level so can't be taken lightly.
