Yann Barberot offers his 3-year-old colt Step By Step (Fr) (Sidestep {Aus}) (lot 25), a listed winner in June going 2400 metres and most recently second in the G3 Prix de Lutece going a mile and seven on Sept. 3. He holds an entry in the G2 Prix Chaudenay.

The Aga Khan's Irshad (Fr) (Raven's Pass) (lot 26) has yet to pick up black-type, but he was fourth in the G3 Prix de Guiche and most recently second over 2000 metres for trainer Mikel Delzangles.
