One Master won the Group 1 Prix de la Foret at Longchamp in the autumn and was a bit unlucky in the Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket three weeks ago when only beaten a length. She holds Agincourt, very disappointing at Ascot last week, on that run and is the class act but there are ground concerns. BREATHTAKING LOOK will love the surface and her second to Oxted in the Abernant Stakes at Newmarket on her reappearance could not have worked out any better. She was only headed close home in a Group 3 at York 12 days ago and should relish the return to 7f. Wasmya hasn’t travelled over France for nothing and has each-way claims while Althiqa is the least exposed but will need to up her game again. Under The Stars is preferred to the penalised Valeria Messalina of the others.
