        Verdict

        A strong Irish contingent includes Coronation Stakes winner Alpine Star, who has gone very close in both subsequent starts including behind FANCY BLUE in the French Oaks at Chantilly. The latter went on to land another Group 1 at Goodwood in the Nassau and Donnacha O’Brien’s filly was a fast-finishing third dropped back to a mile in the Matron Stakes at Leopardstown last time. She’ll appreciate the return to today’s trip and may come out best in a hot renewal. Dermot Weld’s filly Tarnawa beat Laburnum when landing the Prix Vermeille here last month and also has a shout while Audarya beat Ambition a neck when returning the shock winner of a Group 1 at Deauville and James Fanshawe won this in 2016. Tawkeel is another winner at the highest level and looks a threat having beaten Tickle Me Green in Group 2 prep-race on heavy going at Deauville last time.
