CROIX DU NORD (3) has top-class form in Japan. He won the Japanese Derby in June on his last run and is being prepared for a crack at the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. He is preferred ahead of DARYZ (4), who found Group 1 Class too much when unplaced at York (UK) in the Juddmonte International late in August. He won a Group 3 in June and is a live contender. NAHRAAN (6) has won all three of his starts and is improving. He is one to pay attention to, as is UTHRED (5), who can feature.
