Verdict
KINROSS has improved since finishing fourth in last year’s renewal. Ralph Beckett’s charge arrives on the back of a double in Group 2 company having beaten both New Energy and Sandrine in the process and can reverse last year’s running with third-placed Entscheiden. Tenebrism beat Accakaba and Mangoustine when winning the Prix Jean Prat at Deauville and also finished in front of Goldistyle and Malavath when runner-up at the same track subsequently. A Group 3 winner here last month, Fang continues to improve but has a bit to find with the selection on collateral form.
