Moss Tucker
Won this last year before taking a Group 3 and Group 1 (Dubai Flying Five) at the Curragh later on; below form on fast ground in the Prix de L'Abbaye when last seen; could take beating if ready on return even with a penalty to carry.

A Group 3 and dual Listed winner last year but wasn't at his best in Qatar last time on quick ground; however, can be a player if back to his best on this easier surface.
