Nashwa goes from strength to strength having beaten a subsequent Group 1 winner in the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood in July. She won the French Oaks at Chantilly before that when just holding on from LA PARISIENNE, who subsequently returned an unlucky third in the Prix Vermeille here last month. The Lerners’ filly missed the cut for the Arc but looks sure to be bang there at the finish with the underfoot conditions in her favour. Tuesday finished behind the selection here last time and Ryan Moore sticks with the Coolmore-owned Prix Saint-Alary winner Above The Curve, who beat Insinuendo in a Group 2 prep-race at the Curragh last month. Trevaunance landed a double at Deauville in August while the Haggas filly My Astra finished runner-up in the Pretty Polly and Ebaiyra also placed at the highest level when third at Deauville.
