Kinross³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: L Dettori| T: R M Beckett| OR: 119| CD

5/6

Impressive winner of this 12 months ago and he arrives on a hat-trick after bagging Goodwood's Lennox Stakes and City of York Stakes at York. Goes well on soft ground. Holds major claims.

Form: 13-7311

Fang²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: C Demuro| T: J C Rouget| OR: 109| CD

18/1

Smart gelding who landed 10-runner Prix du Pin over C&D (good) 21 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Dabawa. Not ruled out.

Form: 17-131

Pogo³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills| OR: 107| D

80/1

Smart horse. Beat only one behind Kinross in City of York Stakes (40/1) at York (7f, good to firm) 36 days ago so others appeal more.

Form: 000390

National Service^v²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: T Bachelot| T: J Reynier| OR: 105| D

100/1

Useful gelding who scored at Marseilles Borely in March. Creditable 1½ lengths third of 10 to Fang in Prix du Pin over C&D (good) 21 days ago. This is a tough ask though.

Form: 162303

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: C Soumillon| T: N Caullery| OR: 110| CD

9/1

Is enjoying an excellent season and gained his fourth win in 10-runner Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville (6.5f, soft) 56 days ago. Smart and in the mix.

Topgear²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: S Pasquier| T: F Chappet| OR: 110| D

22/1

Smart colt. Resumed with win at Chantilly in April and in good form since, close sixth of 8 to Sauterne in Prix du Moulin de Longchamp here (8f, good) 28 days ago. Possibilities.

Breizh Sky²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A G Botti| OR: 111| BF| CD

28/1

Smart colt who arrives on the back of a good 1½ lengths fourth of 10 to Fang in Prix du Pin over C&D (good) 21 days ago. This C&D winner can't be dismissed.

Shouldvebeenaring²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 113| D

20/1

Smart colt who showed himself to be better than ever when neck second of 16 to Regional in Sprint Cup at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Effective over this longer trip so he's very much one to consider.

Form: 275942

Cachet¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: James Doyle| T: G Boughey| OR: 112| BF| D

16/1

Smart filly. Below form 5¾ lengths fourth of 10 to Matilda Picotte in Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster (7f, good) 14 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: /1125-4

Happy Romance¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR: 102

50/1

Smart mare. Took listed event at Bath in April and right back on track when fourth of 22 in Portland Handicap at Doncaster (5.6f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Back up in trip and no forlorn hope.

Form: 461604

(12)

Dabawa²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: M Barzalona| T: F Graffard| OR: 102

50/1

Useful filly who comes here on the back of a very good 1¼ lengths second of 10 to Fang in Prix du Pin over C&D (good) 21 days ago. This is no easy ask, however.

Form: 1-3222

(13)

Sauterne²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: T Piccone| T: P Cottier| OR: 115| CD

7/2

Very smart filly who resumed winning ways in 8-runner Prix du Moulin de Longchamp here (8f, good) 28 days ago by length from Big Rock. Effective at this shorter trip and she merits serious consideration.

Form: 132231

(3)

Kelina²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: M Guyon| T: C Laffon-Parias| OR: 112| D

22/1

Smart filly. Scored at Chantilly in June. 20/1, not disgraced when 3½ lengths seventh of 8 to Sauterne in Prix du Moulin de Longchamp here (8f, good) 28 days ago so can't be totally dismissed.

Form: -24187

Exxtra³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: R Thomas| T: C & Y Lerner| OR: 102

100/1

Useful filly and a dual winner this year. Very good head second of 12 to Zerostress in Goldene Peitsche at Baden-Baden (6f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Hard to warm to in this company, though.

Form: 5-1412

Forecasts

Kinross (5/6), Sauterne (7/2), King Gold (9/1), Cachet (16/1), Fang (18/1), Shouldvebeenaring (20/1), Kelina (22/1), Topgear (22/1), Breizh Sky (28/1), Happy Romance (50/1), Dabawa (50/1), Pogo (80/1), Exxtra (100/1), National Service (100/1)

KINROSS took this contest in good style a year ago and looks primed to follow up arriving on a hat-trick and with conditions to suit once again. French-filly Sauterne has thrived on a busy campaign and took her form to another level when bagging the Prix du Moulin here so should ensure Ralph Beckett's likeable 6-y-o doesn't have things all his own way though. Shouldvebeenaring, King Gold and Happy Romance can fight it out for minor honours in a cracking Prix de la Foret.
