Tashkhan, Novel Legend and Metier will bid for a French Group 1 in Sunday’s Prix Royal-Oak, live on Sky Sports Racing.
Harry Fry has been focusing on this race for a long time Metier and reports that its star stayer is in excellent form ahead of this step up in class.
He has been given a break since winning the Chester Cup in May and Saffie Osborne will keep the ride as she looks for a first Group 1 success.
The seven-year-old will do well in tough conditions and should come close to making the Fry team.
Brian Ellison’s Tashkhan has been a great servant to Brian Ellison and showed he retains all his abilities when finishing third in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket earlier this month.
And the third British runner is James Fanshawe New legend – he has won three times this season, but will need to improve further.
Group two winner The good person is something else to note in a competitive heat for Stephane Wattel, while Double major is the only three-year-old in the field and it is to be feared that he has made progress on his last start to win the Group 2 Prix Chaudenay.
He still has a lot of potential considering he only had seven starts ahead of Maxime Guyon and Christophe Ferland.
