TROPBEAU completed a double over 7f here last summer before a fine run when dropping back to 6f in the Cheveley Park. She warmed up for this with a narrow Group 3 victory over Dream And Do and Tickle Me Green at Longchamp and looks the one to beat though the placed horses were close enough to merit the greatest respect. The unbeaten Simeen has a superb pedigree though takes a big step-up in grade from her minor victories while Marieta was over 2 lengths behind the selection in a Group 2 here in August. Emoji was in the lead at this trip on her return at Longchamp and didn't last out the extra furlong.
