Placed at Group level as a three-year-old, notably on this track (2nd in the Prix Noailles and Prix Hocquart). Put an indifferent spring campaign behind him with a last-start victory in a 1600m conditions race at La Teste (in first-time headgear) on 13 August. Should play a leading role with the euqipment retained

Race Overview
HARRY WAY (7) acquitted himself well at Group III level last year before enduring a lean spell in the spring. However, he returned to winning ways last time in first-time blinkers and looks good value to follow up with the headger retained. FUTURE FATE (10), himself a last-start winner, should remain competitive for victory despite the resultant penalty. LEV (8), in-form MORPHEWAN (2) and AZKA (6), whose last-start 3rd at this level was encouraging, are also contender for the podium. BEVAN (3), KLEORA (9), and MONTY (5) complete the shortlist.
Selection:
7 - 10 - 8
