European fillies head the ante-post market with ALBIGNA making most appeal. Found to be in season when suffering her only defeat so far in the Moyglare at the Curragh, Jessica Harrington’s filly bounced back with an impressive victory in the Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac over a mile at Longchamp and is taken to reverse Moyglare form with the runner-up Daahyeh. The latter went on to win the Rockfel over 7f at Newmarket but attempts a mile for the first time as do the Ballydoyle duo Tango and Etoile and the other European runners Living In The Past, Shadn and Unforgetable. Chad Brown is dismayed by the high draw for Selflessly as he attempts to win this for a record sixth time having landed the last three renewals while Grade 2 winner Sweet Melania is another drawn wide for the home challengers though Grade 1 winner Abscond could go well after scoring at Woodbine.
