Formscan - Calandagan had to wait a while for his first Group 1 success, but, when finally arriving, it could hardly have come any easier in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud. Francis-Henri Graffard's gelding merits plenty of respect as the trainer looks to win this prestigious race two years on the bounce, but it is his Epsom conqueror, JAN BRUEGHEL, that gets the nod. The son of Galileo outbattled the former in the Coronation Cup and should the pair become embroiled once again, it is difficult to envisage that form being reversed. Kalpana finished an excellent second in the Pretty Polly last time out and is likely to benefit from a return to further based on her Fillies & Mares success on Champions Day.
