Rayevka

J: Mickael Barzalona

T: F-H Graffard

Stays 6f well but this looks her trip and, following a Group 3 win at Longchamp (soft) she so nearly held on in the King Charles III (good to firm) at Royal Ascot, where Mission Central was better positioned on the stands' side; has come from off the pace on her last two starts, which is a worry on this track, but she has a strong form chance.

From the family of Arc winner Zarkava and this lightly raced 4yo made it five wins in a row with Group 3 success at Vichy (1m2f, soft) four weeks ago; has also won on good ground; this race is considerably hotter and others have a lot more substance to their form but he did it cosily last time and could still have lots more to offer for top French trainer who saddled Calandagan to finish second in this race in 2024 with the same silks; each-way possibilities.

Calandagan

9st 9lb

J: Mickael Barzalona

T: F-H Graffard

His flop in the Coronation Cup at Epsom last month can be excused by the substantial rain and he showed he was none the worse when winning the Group 1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; had just a neck to spare last time but did well to come from the back of the pack off a stop-start gallop; he's a six-time winner at the top level, including of this race last year, and holds leading claims.

T: James Horton

Won early this year on first three runs for James Horton (7f/1m, AW) before good third here (1m, good to firm) and a fifth of seven at Sandown (1m, good); won at Kempton (1m, AW) next time; could give a good account but he's 6-9 on AW as opposed to 0-10 on turf, which tempers enthusiasm.

Esna

8st 11lb

J: Mickael Barzalona

T: Brian Meehan

Stepped up on reappearance form when winning Listed event over 1m2f at Newbury (good) in May; can probably be forgiven her subsequent effort in the Prix de Diane at Chantilly after pressing the pace out wide; drops back to 1m now; even a return to her best probably won't be enough, though.
