Verdict
Andre Fabre, who hasn't won this since 2011, has four entries this year. Place Du Carrousel was staying on behind Above The Curve in the 1m2f Prix Saint-Alary at Longchamp but Agave lost her unbeaten record behind Onesto is a Saint-Cloud Group 2 and the winner was well beaten in the French Derby. Tom Marquand was on board when Zellie stayed on into fourth behind Cachet in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket and last year's Marcel Boussac winner should be suited by the longer trip. Times Square was less than two lengths behind her in that latter event and returned to Longchamp with an excellent run in last month's Poule d'Essai des Pouliches when just a neck behind Mangoustine and Cachet. Yukata hardly saw daylight when losing her maiden tag in a Longchamp Listed contest though this is a big step-up in class and the vote goes to NASHWA. Hollie Doyle held her up to get the trip in the Oaks at Epsom where the Gosden's filly didn't appear to get home so today's distance should prove ideal.
