Marvelman (Ire)

Age: 4
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

Smart colt who is effective at 6f/7f and though winless so far in 2026, looked as good as ever when placed in Chipchase and City of York Stakes in summer. Fluffed lines when everything looked in his favour when last in Sprint Cup at Haydock, so needs to bounce back with tongue strap now called on.

True Love (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 8st 10lbs
Or: -

Busy 2-y-o, but trained on well to win first 2 starts this year, including 1000 Guineas at Newmarket. Several good efforts in defeat since (closely matched with several from Prix Jean Prat) and though standards have slipped of late, she shouldn't be far away if returning to her best.

Thesecretadversary (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 0lbs
Or: -

Headstrong sort earlier in year but improved since dropped to 7f, winning Jersey at Royal Ascot and Prix Jean Prat (next 3 home all reoppose) at Deauville. Didn't last home when only mid-field back at 1m in the Jacques Le Marois and danger to all under these conditions.

Puerto Rico (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 0lbs
Or: -

Hit form this time last year when 3 wins included Jean-Luc Lagardere over C&D. Found things tougher in Group 1 company in 2026, and though he ran well in cheekpieces (left off now) when sixth to Notable Speech in City of York Stakes last time, that suggests he'll find at least one or 2 too good now.

Nighttime (Fr)

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 0lbs
Or: -

Smart French-trained colt who won over C&D in Group 2 company in June and was better placed than most when a close third in the Prix Jean Prat over this trip at Deauville. Not at best in Prix du Moulin here last time and looks to be playing for places at best.

Showna (Fr)

Age: 3
Weight: 8st 10lbs
Or: -

Useful French filly who produced best effort when winning Prix Imprudence at Deauville in April. Backward step in 2 runs here since, latest off a 4 month break in September. Entitled to strip fitter for most recent run but needs a big career best to figure.

Samangan (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 0lbs
Or: -

Improving French-trained colt. Found 6f in Commonwealth Cup on sharp side, but better form since when close fourth in Jean Prat and improved further when off mark for year when winning Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville last time. Return to 7f will be in favour and is the one to beat.

My Calyx Cen (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 0lbs
Or: -

Spanish-trained colt but done most of his racing in France, 3 wins this year including a Group 3 sprint at Chantilly. Limitations exposed since at this level and looks to be just making up the numbers.

Timeform Verdict

A smaller field than usual, so the draw shouldn't be the deciding factor it can be, and the key piece of form is the Prix Jean Prat at Deauville in August. The first 4 all reoppose and Thesecretadversary is likely to again make a bold bid from the front with the return to 7f in his favour but the fourth that day, SAMANGAN, can reverse those placings given the improvement he's shown since. True Love shouldn't be far away if returning to her best.

Betting Forecast

14/1 Marvelman (Ire), 6/1 True Love (Ire), 11/4 Thesecretadversary (Ire), 12/1 Puerto Rico (Ire), 8/1 Nighttime (Fr), 66/1 Showna (Fr), 15/8 Samangan (Ire), 100/1 My Calyx Cen (Ire)
