Formscan  - Always highly regarded by connections, AL RIFFA didn't shape without promise when rallying for fourth in the Prix Ganay. It was only last July when he ran City Of Troy to a length in the Coral Eclipse and, already a Group 1 winner over 1m4f, the son of Wootton Bassett looks the value play in this prestigious contest. Winner of the Breeders' Cup Turf last November and a determined scorer on his return to British shores at York last month, Rebel's Romance should go very close. Now owned by Amo Racing, Ghostwriter remains a capable sort at this level, while Space Legend should improve for going back up in trip.
