GALOPIN DES CHAMPS was a winner of a big-field juvenile event on his sole start in France at Auteuil back in the spring and, having joined a powerful outfit, he's fancied to make a bold bid to make it 2-2 with progress highly likely. Sea Ducor and Patience Patience are respected in their own right however, whilst Mighty Blue is interesting given his exploits on the Flat.
