Cheek to Cheek

This 4-year-old filly’s claims are hard to assess after just one outing this year. Her sole win came last season. Suited by today’s distance.

Dreams

Runner-up in a G3 in Rome over 2400m in May has been unable to build on that in his two subsequent runs but will be fresh after a near two-month holiday.

Everillo

Has enjoyed a productive 4-year-old campaign so far, scoring over 1800m and last time out over 2000m. First attempt at this 2400m.

Havoc

Has made progress since his last visit to Longchamp when last of 14 a year ago. Consistent and won’t be troubled by today’s distance.

Homo Deus

The topweight is having his first run since April, and no matter how he does today will benefit from the outing. A Listed winner last year over this 2400m.

Khochenko

Connections are trying him out at 2400m for the first time since 2019. Only win from 10 races this term came over 2100m back in March. Well beaten last time.

Kintana Blue

Struggled when stepped up in distance on latest start. Will be more at home at this shorter trip.

Lorenzo de Medici

A regular runner at Longchamp this season, all his visits over a shorter trip. First time tackling 2400m.

Matauri Gold

Returns to action after a short time-out. Failed to make much of an impression when tackling Listed company late last year. Won a minor contest over 2600m in April. Place prospects.

North Hunter

This 8-year-old has improved with age, registering two wins in a year for the first time. The last of those came at Longchamp in June. Run well since.

Officer of State

His illustrious sire Golden Horn enjoyed himself over this course and distance in 2015, landing the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. While not blessed with his dad’s brilliance he is lightly raced, and should strip fitter after tackling Listed company last time.

Panjaman

Has found life tough on his last five starts this season but is a winner over this 2400m in 2022 and put up a promising enough run over 2000m in defeat last time.

Santurin

Disappointing when last of 16 in a 2500m handicap in August but possibly inconvenienced on heavy ground that day. Much better effort on a faster surface on penultimate outing when beaten less than a length in fourth.

Sunfast

A dual winner earlier this year over 2100m and 2350m, makes his racecourse return after a three-month break.

Utamaro

German-bred he ran into a place over this distance in a decent handicap at Chantilly in June. Not far away on his two runs since, both over further.

Woodstone

From a German stable this frequent visitor to France caught the eye when third, not beaten far, in heavy ground at a similar level on latest start.
