With fears over the ground for several runners, it may be worth siding with BRAMETOT. The French Derby winner got back on track with a good fifth in the the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe last time out and the yard landed this contest last year with champion three-year-old Almanzor. Cracksman brings strong form into the race and there's a suspicion we are yet to see the best of him but there's question marks whether this drop in trip will suit. Success Days and Recoletos are two that will appreciate conditions and could be considered for each-way purposes.
