Formscan - Willie Mullins has sent out the last two winners of this event, so Charlus deserves plenty of respect with Ryan Moore doing the steering. An import from France, where he won three times on the Flat, he can feature returning to this code, but FRENCH MASTER makes most appeal. A progressive son of Frankel, John & Thady Gosden's charge won at Goodwood on his first start over 1m6f and remains open to further improvement in first-time blinkers. Caballo De Mar is another on the upgrade, having scored over 2m at Haydock last time, while Champagne Prince is also noted.
