Formscan - A runner-up three times at the highest level in his homeland last year, BIG ROCK emphatically broke his Group 1 hoodoo by making all to score by six lengths in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot on Champions Day. That was a scintillating effort and, given the son of Rock of Gibraltar has won when fresh before, this illustrious prize could also be heading back to France if he picks up where he left off. Inspiral shaded the selection in the Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville last year but wouldn't want any further rain. Therefore, it might be down to Charyn to provide the sternest challenge this time.
