One of the most notable races on the global calendar, this year's edition of the Japan Cup has attracted three high-class European challengers in Auguste Rodin, Goliath and Fantastic Moon.

All three will be aiming to become the first international winner of the event since Alkaased in 2005.

Auguste Rodin will be the first Derby winner this century to compete in the Japan Cup and represents Aidan O’Brien’s first runner in the race since 2021, with the Ballydoyle master trainer not enjoying a great deal of success as Idaho delivered his best finish of fifth in 2017.

King George winner Goliath had a successful warm-up in Group 2 company at Longchamp in October and Christophe Soumillon has history in the race, having triumphed with Epiphaneia 10 years ago.

Conqueror of Equinox in the Japanese Derby in 2022, Do Deuce arrives in excellent form while Cervinia, who won a third Grade 1 in Kyoto last month, will be looking to emulate Almond Eye and Gentildonna as a three-year-old winner of the race.
