Races don't come much better than this. Last year's winner OMBUDSMAN is rock solid and the fact he's proven on fast ground tips the vote his way over Arc hero Daryz, who has been most impressive on a couple of return visits to Longchamp this spring. Minnie Hauk, who is closely matched with Daryz on Arc form, had an excuse for a below-par effort behind Almaqam at the Curragh last time and can bounce back to form and also play her part in what promises to be a thriller.
