In depth

Verdict

Jean-Claude Rouget bids for a fourth consecutive winner but Toulifaut has a bit to find with ante-post favourite Senga on last month’s running at Chantilly. Pascal Bary’s filly won a Group 3 trial on that occasion and is also preferred to stablemate Thais, who was a length behind VIA RAVENNA at Maisons-Laffitte recently. The latter remains unbeaten having won over a mile on her earlier debut and Andre Fabre’s charge gets the nod. Wajnah also has a shout for the home team on collateral form with Senga but 2002 was the last time this prize left France. Ballydoyle run three with Rain Goddess and Roly Poly beaten in the Fred Darling and Nell Gywn respectively where the latter finished behind Sea Of Grace. Christophe Soumillon partners the Haggas filly here and she makes more appeal than stable companion Cristal Fizz. Asidious Alexander has something to find with Toulifaut on last year’s form but it’s hard to assess the merits of the unbeaten German filly Delectation.
