GOLIATH (5) finished ninth when returning from a break last start over this distance in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup at Sha Tin, beaten 6 lengths. Form here strong boasting two wins from four starts. Leading contender. IRESINE (4) was too good when resuming in an easier race over 2400m at Listed level at Lyon-Parilly last start, scoring by 1.3 lengths. Second-up record is strong and he is a major player again. GRAND STARS (7) found a couple better last start in the G2 Prix Corrida at Saint-Cloud over 2100m. Form over this journey is strong, boasting two wins from three starts. Back a level after tackling a tougher race last time. Well placed and is one of the main contenders. CASAPUEBLO (3) was in the money at first two runs from a spell then missed the frame last time finishing a 1.75 lengths sixth over 2000m. Should be further improved and not beaten far latest. Alexis Pouchin stays on and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Can play a role in the finish.
