10/1
Scored twice at Compeigne on his first 2 outings before acquitting himself well upped to Group level at Deauville in August. Improved when winning 8-runner Prix La Rochette at this C&D (good to soft) 28 days ago by ¾ length from Heybetli and he's respected.

Already showed borderline useful form when winning a Deauville minor event on debut and improved when running out a 4¼ lengths winner of the Prix des Chenes at this course (8f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Could do better again and he's shortlisted.

7/2
Showed plenty to work on when third at Doncaster on debut and looked a good prospect with an improved maiden win at Newmarket on his second start. Displayed a fine turn of foot when taking the Solario Stakes at Sandown (7f, good, 5/4) 36 days ago and there should be better still to come.

Maiden winner at Compeigne on his second start progressed when following up at Deauville next time. Ran well when ¾-length second of 8 to Houquetot in Prix La Rochette at this C&D (good to soft) 28 days ago and this progressive sort holds frame claims.

Off the mark at Saint-Cloud on debut and bounced back to that sort of level when winning a Deauville listed event in July. Not beaten too far when 1¾ lengths fifth of 8 to Houquetot in Prix La Rochette at this C&D (good to soft) 28 days ago but he'll require more here.

15/8
Made a winning debut at the Curragh and looked a high-class prospect when landing the Railway Stakes there next time. Took his record to 3-3 in the Futurity, and though he showed a quirky side when beaten into a ¾-length second in the National Stakes last time, he still rates as the form pick.

Sprang a 66/1 surprise when getting off the mark in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot in June and proved that was no fluke when a fast-finishing second to Whistlejacket in Prix Morny at Deauville (6f, good) 49 days ago. Respected.

10/1
Debut winnner at the Curragh back in April and belatedly showed improved form when beating Houquetot in the Prix Francois Boutin at Deauville in August. Similar form when fifth in the National Stakes back on home soil last time and he'll likely need to find some progress to score here.

10/1
Yet to add to his debut win at Navan back in April but ran as well as he ever has when beaten only a nose into second in a valuable 20-runner sales race at Doncaster (6.5f, good) 24 days ago. Should appreciate the slightly longer trip here but has something to find in this grade.

Forecasts

Henri Matisse (15/8), Field Of Gold (7/2), Misunderstood (11/2), Rashabar (8/1), Camille Pissarro (10/1), Houquetot (10/1), Cowardofthecounty (10/1), Revolutionnaire (16/1), Heybetli (33/1), Tiego The First (40/1)

Verdict

HENRI MATISSE rates the clear form pick and can bounce back and make it 4 wins from 5 starts. Misunderstood improved a lot from first run to second and rates the main threat, while Field Of Gold commands a closer look as well, having shown a fine turn of foot in the Solario.
