Tony Martin's admirable dual-purpose performer Quick Jack is the sole Irish raider in a 15-strong field for Sunday's Prix Royal-Oak at Saint-Cloud.
The seven-year-old finished third to Melbourne Cup-bound stable companion Heartbreak City in the Ebor at York before winning a valuable handicap at Leopardstown last month.
Martin said: "He's in good form and deserves a shot at a race like this.
"Vazirabad looks to be the one we all have to beat, but we've been very happy with our horse since the last day and we're happy to take our chance."
