G2 – 2500m – Turf

Joie de Soir

Having her first start in group company on her fourth career start, having already won twice including a decisive victory in a 2400m Listed event at Clairefontaine this month.

Katara

She looks like a stayer who could benefit from this slight rise in trip. Slowly away but she ran on strongly to win a Listed event at Pontefract last time. This may be tougher.

Mystery Angel

UK trained but three of her eight starts this year have been in France, latterly when quite a close third – after leading – in a 2000m soft ground G3 here earlier this month.

Noble Music

Lacked a finishing kick when fourth in a G2 at Mulheim on her last start. Her previous Listed Longchamp win was over 2800m so she has no stamina issues.

Raabihah

Runs here in preference to the shorter G1 on the same card. A disappointing favourite when second in Listed company this month following a break when this front-runner had been narrowly beaten in a G3 and G2.

Silence Please

Probably best on good or faster ground, she had no answers when a multiple G1 winning mare accelerated past her in a Leopardstown G3 this month, but it was still a good effort.

Valia

Survived softer ground than her trainer thinks she wants when narrowly winning a G2 at Longchamp last month. She was a possible runner for a G1 at York but travelling issues mean she is rerouted here. Chances for the stable that won this last year.
