Sascha Smrczek will try it with Pyrus (Bayarsaikhan Ganbat), who won the Hamburg auction race at the same time. They face danger from Bravais (Bauyrzhan Murzabayev) and Alashar (Cristian Demuro), who ended placed at List level in their most recent appearances. Devil In The Sky (Christophe Soumillon) is also among the meant, he performed well in the Prix du Lys (Group 3). Birr Castle (Mickael Barzalona) and Mister Mister (Aurelien Lemaitre), entered by Joseph O`Brien from Ireland, did not go beyond sixth place in their Group 3-level outings, but meet it easier here. Woodchuck (Simon Planque), like Kovanof (Maxime Guyon), is pleasing with fresh wins.
