Rozgar

Three-year-old Rozgar, a son of Exceed And Excel out of a Stakes-placed half-sister to Group 1 winner Rosanara, has won three races this season over six and seven furlongs. His best performance was a one-and-a-quarter-length victory in the Listed Prix Marchand d’Or in June at Chantilly, where he finished ahead of subsequent Group winner Perfect News. The colt was also sixth in a bunch finish of the Gr.1 Prix Jean Prat, beaten less than a length and a half behind the winner Tenebrism and just a nose behind Classic winner Modern Games.

Five-year-old Dilawar is by Dubawi out of Group 1 winner Dolniya. The remarkably consistent gelding has won four races including the Gr.3 Prix Quincey by a comfortable two-and-a-half lengths, and this year was also the runner-up by a head in the Gr.2 Prix du Muguet and a neck in the Gr.3 Prix Bertrand du Breuil, as well as placing a close fourth in the Gr.1 Prix d’Ispahan.
