FormscanBy Donal Murphy - The winner of the Prix Morny at Deauville in August, it's difficult to look beyond WHISTLEJACKET. Campaigned aggressively as a juvenile, he raced in Ireland, the UK, France and America, winning three times from eight starts. In Group 1 company on his last four outings, he should appreciate this drop in grade. Cowardofthecounty beat the selection on debut at the Curragh around this time last year and since won a Group 3 in France. A disappointing last of nine in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp in October, it'll be interesting to see how he fares on his first try at this trip. Ides Of March also claimed a Group 3 as a juvenile and warrants the utmost respect after finishing seventh when last seen at the Breeders' Cup, while the hat-trick seeking Bodhi Bear has race fitness on his side and should give a good account of himself.
