ORACLE (9) was thereabouts last time out when second at Longchamp over 2000m, beaten 0.8 lengths. Should be at his peak now. Sure to go well. SURABAD (1) has two wins and one placing from three starts this preparation. Scored last start by half a length in stakes class at Longchamp over 2400m. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. RAFALE DESIGN (2) comes here following a win over 2200m at Longchamp three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 1.3 lengths. Genuine galloper with three wins from five starts. This sets up nicely. HOTHEADED (4) won on debut last time out four weeks ago over 2400m at Saint-Cloud, getting home by 4.5 lengths. Should be involved in the finish.
