Classy three-year-old colt ILLINOIS (2) hit the woodwork for the second time in as many Group I attempts this term when chasing home stablemate Jan Brueghel at Doncaster in the St Leger. He sets a lofty standard and is hard to oppose in this Group II opener. COLUMBUS (5) won a 3000m Group III last time, establishing himself as a leading three-year-old French stayer, so he could emerge as the biggest threat to the selection if continuing on his upward trajectory. SHAMARKAND (1) and VIGATATA (8) aren't underestimated either, given the strength and consistency of their form/performances.

Exciting NORMA AL MAURY (3) acquitted herself well in defeat against older opposition in consecutive Group I races. She will prove an entirely different proposition against same-aged fillies and is taken to confirm her superiority over familiar foe MARWA (2), who should be more impactful on soft ground. HM MOUNTASSIRAH (10) proved herself at this level in just her second outing and she will make her presence felt with further improvement on the cards. MANTAHARE (9) was disappointing in the reference race at La Teste but remains capable of getting into the picture.

High-quality renewal, despite the small field size. Back to his best after an injury-enforced layoff, KYPRIOS (2) has won all 5 starts this year and completed a Group I hat-trick when scoring in the Irish St Leger last month. He was a brilliant victor of this race in 2022 and is good value to reclaim his prize and extend his sequence of top-level successes. DOUBLE MAJOR (4) has been specifically aimed at this race and France's leading stayer should prove a worthy adversary. TRUESHAN (3), a two-time winner of this event, and familiar foe COLTRANE (1) are proven performers at this level so can't be taken lightly.

CLIMATE CHANGE (9) caught the eye when 4th in the Quinte+ of 25 August and he will appreciate softer ground, so could find himself fighting for victory with HARRY WAY (11). The latter impressed at La Teste 2 starts back and wasnt disgraced, despite finishing unplaced (6th), in his most recent outing. HALF HALF (8) has enjoyed rich success in this category and shouldn't be hastily condemned for his latest faux pas. AMERICAN FLAG (3) cannot be underestimated on his reappearance, especially given an attractive opening handicap mark. The shortlist is completed by CHIRIMIRI (7), DOURIANN (6) and WE RIDE THE WORLD (2).

ONE EYE JACK (4) overcame a tardy start to make a winning debut and did so easier than the margin of victory may suggest. He's awkwardly drawn in a wide barrier but looked potentially useful when scoring at Haydock last month, so it could pay to follow his progress. MOUNT KILIMANJARO (5) isn't exactly bred to be precocious but has revealed sufficient means/ability to acquit himself competitively, especially over this extended distance which should serve his interests. RELAXX (11) shouldn't be hastily condemned for finishing unplaced in a strong renewal of the Group III Prix d'Aumale and isn't without a chance, which also applies to debut winner FLY HALF (3), whose latest outing over this distance was encouraging.

ALCANTOR (9) was not disgraced in the Group 1 at Chantilly in June and if fit from his break he is the one to beat. This shorter distance suits him well. PENALTY (5) was impressive in Germany last time out and could be a threat. MARHABA YA SANAFI (1) seems better at this course and does have ability so deserves respect. CARAMELITO (3) has made good progress this year and should be right there at the finish

TERM OF ENDEARMENT (1) has improved this year and is coming off some nice wins. There is no real reason to go against her this time around. ONE EVENING (8) is still improving and was unlucky last time out so should do better. MISTRAL STAR (5) is consistent and should be involved with the finish yet again. RUE BOISSONADE (3) has no problems with this type of distance and could have improvement in her.

A small field but a cracking race. ANMAAT (3) returned from a lengthy break as well as ever and may have even improved. Clearly the one to beat. JAYAREBE (6) shows talent and is capable of improvement so deserves respect. CALIF (1) is at the top of his game and will be chalelnging for top honours. MY PROSPERO (4) is also in good form and is a possible winner as well.

A tough lucky last race that may be won by a three-year-old. PAY TO LEARN (3) has shown promise winning half his starts but this will be his first handicap. NEWLOOK (9) won a handicap very nicely last time out but picked a 4kg penalty for that win so it will be a tougher task this time around. UTAMARO (11) ran well over a similar distance at this track last time out and can go one better. CASSIUS (5) could be returning to his best form and is clearly not out of it.
