FRENCH MASTER did well to overcome plenty of trouble at Goodwood on his most recent outing and is a straightforward choice to follow up, especially with further progress surely on the cards now fitted with blinkers (has shown a tendency to race in snatches). Charlus is totally unexposed for a stable that has won the last 2 renewals of this race, so he's of firm interest also, with the highly-progressive Caballo de Mar and Aeronautic others to note.
