Last seen winning Leopardstown’s G3 Eyrefield S. in October, he faces some intriguing home-trained talent including Godolphin’s Gyllen (Medaglia d’Oro). With the benefit of race-fitness this term, the Mar. 27 Listed Prix Francois Mathet scorer is a progressive type in Andre Fabre’s hands. “He is a very honest horse, who tries his best, and stays well in this ground,” Godolphin’s Lisa-Jane Graffard commented. “You would have to be fearful of some of the opposition, but he should run another good race.” Fabre, who has won this 11 times, also saddles Al Shaqab’s Listed Criterium de Lyon runner-up Alhadab (Fr) (Camelot {GB}) while Jean-Claude Rouget has a pair engaged and is keen to take on Gyllen again with his Francois Mathet runner-up Nobokhov (GB) (Iffraaj {GB}).
