Formscan - A man with an excellent eye for a horse, Philippe Allaire could not have asked for better than BEAUVATIER (4) who has yet to be dethroned. He met little opposition in the Prix la Rochette over course and distance and will again garner the lion's share of support. EVADE (8) finished a valiant runner-up to him that day and will have come on for the run, but he will first have to defer to the progressive ROSALLION (2) who left a very good impression at Doncaster a fortnight ago, and Richard Fahey's unbeaten NATIVE AMERICAN (11) who won a valuable handicap at the Curragh three weeks ago.
