Seven will line up and it looks like going to the raiders in particular to O'Brien father and son.
Aidan saddles Illinois, a Galileo colt whom Ryan Moore will ride and they are on 2/1. Joseph has Islandsinthestream, a Wooton Bassett colt who is on 7/2 and has booked Guyon for the ride. There seems to be only one filly in the race Shiffrin who is on 4/1 if you fancy her to take on the boys.
The Criterium International also has 7 runners for the 1600m and Andre Fabre's New Bay colt Alcantor is on 7/4 with Barzalona riding. We are not sure if David Menuisier is coming from UK with Sunway or if he has a base back in France – it may be from UK and therefore a raider as he has Oisin Murphy riding the Galiway colt.
The French had a very successful day at Ascot on Saturday but more of that anon.
