Is drawn in pole position and has one of the more experienced riders on board. Should enjoy the step up in distance and likely fast ground and can go well in this weakish handicap for apprentices (the likely hot favourite Cote D'Azur still has to prove that he is as good on turf as he is on the AW). 10/1 or bigger is a nice E/W price for Haraz.

The problem is that she has been below her best twice since, once at Royal Ascot (although it was a Group 1) and last time at Chantilly in a Group 3 (wasn't beaten far, however, in a muddling race). This is much easier and if she was coming here off the back of the Musidora run, she would be odds on. 15/8 or bigger is a fair price in what looks a weak race for the grade.
