      Verdict

      GHAIYYATH is moving smoothly through the ranks having added to last year’s Group 3 victories with a successful reappearance in the Group 2 Prix d’Harcourt here earlier in the month. Eased down in the closing stages on that occasion, Charlie Appleby’s colt can confirm running with the placed horses, Soleil Marin and Intellogent, and record his first win at the highest level. Last year’s French Derby winner Study Of Man will prove a sterner test for the likely favourite but Pascal Bary’s charge found fourth-placed Waldgeist too good in last season’s Arc. Andre Fabre’s dual Group 1 winner is perfectly capable of getting involved if at his best though was beaten at a lower level on last year’s seasonal debut.
