Looks proven at this trip. A handicapper, he was a winner at Compiegne on his latest start.
2
Media Storm
The winner of one of Madrid's most valuable races - over 2500m - in June, previously having finished a close second at Longchamp. Consistent, and tries hard.
3
Equinoxe
No stamina issues as he has winning form over this trip. A Fontainebleau winner on his 2022 debut, and a respectable fourth at Longchamp last time.
4
Big Call
Supplemented for this, he is a consistent gelding with plenty of good performances this season, though this will be his first attempt at this trip. A close third in a decent event in Madrid last time.
5
Mediterranea Blues
Quite consistent at a lower level to this - mostly seen in handicap and claiming company. At least he arrives here off a win - a defeat of ten rivals at Clairefontaine last month.
6
Tides Of War
Has won two of his seven starts, and may well have a class edge over most of these rivals. Placed in G3 and G2 company over this trip at Longchamp last year. Likely to be sharper for his 2022 return at Compiegne.
7
Investor
Plenty of victories for this seven-year-old, but they have come at a lower level - plus he is not yet proven at this trip.
8
Kolossal
Currently in good shape, accelerating to win a Listed event at Baden-Baden and a good second at Hamburg subsequently. But needs to prove himself at this trip - not sure on pedigree.
9
Shine For You
Has been supplemented into this field. May be best suited to slow ground judging by her Listed victory at Saint Cloud last October. Ran a good third at Longchamp in June. Up in trip.

Joie De Soir
Looks to have good claims here, having competed well at a higher level than this plus looking happy at this trip. Finished strongly when only narrowly beaten in a Longchamp G2 in May.
