Last year's winner NO LUNCH (1) is taken to maintain his unbeaten AW record dropping markedly in grade following a 1.5L fourth in the 1600m G1 Prix Jacques Le Marois on the turf course here in August. Runner-up in this race last year MOUNT ATHOS (2) is expected to play a part in the finish on his first start since a 3L sixth over 1408m at Thirsk in April. ZZODIAC (9) had been in good form in sprint races prior to finishing 8.25L ninth in the 1000m G3 Prix du Petit Couvert at Longchamp. Rates highly stepping up in distance. FERRARI FEVER (4) completed a hat-trick in scoring by a neck in a 1400m Chantilly AW conditions race. One to note.
