    Summary: Last year’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (Gr.1) winner, Daryz (1), has strong claims of getting his 2026 season off to a winning start in this competitive Group 1 contest. His main threat could be Cualificar (2), who ran well to finish third in the Prix d’Harcourt (Gr.2) over 2000m at this track last time out and should be sharper for that run.Aventure (6) was below par behind Daryz in October (1), but she won the Prix Vermeille (Gr.1) here in September and should not be underestimated.

  96. LA BELLE OTERO – Has shown very little in several runs, 7th at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in a handicap on February 22nd last time out. One to avoid
    Summary: LADY SOFIA (2) has been second on her last two starts. The most recent over 1400m at Chantilly on March 16th on the PSF. She has placed form on turf last year and can get off the mark.
