Formscan - Economics has been all the rage for this for some time and after keeping his perfect record for the year intact following a ding-dong battle with Auguste Rodin in the Irish Champion Stakes, he will be tough to beat. However, CALANDAGAN came from an impossible position to finish a length second to City Of Troy in the Juddmonte International at York, clocking some exceptional fractions late on, and a repeat of that might be enough to see the French challenger get the better of his market rival. Iresine gets on well with jockey Marie Velon and could steal the final placing ahead of Arc third Los Angeles, who appears the O'Brien number one.
