Darnation

Not big but classy, winning her last three starts including when always in control after she had got to the front 400m out in a 1600m G2 at Doncaster in September. Good or slower ground ideal.

Extraordinaire

An ambitious target, having won only a maiden at Sandown in September. At least it was over this trip and was gained quite comfortably.

Freville

Improving with experience, easily her best run came on her latest start when she quickened from the back to win a G3 over this course and distance in September.

Julica

Quite impressive when winning both her starts – at La Teste-de Buch – proving each time that she had plenty of stamina. Faces a big rise in class but her trainer has successfully targeted this race before.

Les Pavots

Has won her last two starts, notably surviving heavy ground to pass rivals from the back and win a 1400m G2 at Deauville in August. This became the logical target after that victory.

Opera Singer

Her trainer must have chances of winning this for a fifth time given how impressive this progressive filly was when demolishing her rivals in a 1600m G3 at The Curragh in August.

Ribaltagaia

Fit and ready for action when landing a 1350m maiden at Lyon Parilly in September. To win this G1 after that minor victory seems a very unlikely scenario.

Rose Bloom

Supplemented into this, having won both starts – favourite each time – in quite decisive style. Latterly outgunning some potentially talented rivals over this trip at Chantilly in September.

Voodoo Magic

Won her first two starts – including over 1300m here – but has not notably progressed in two starts since though was hampered when launching her challenge in a Deauville G3.

Zandy

Disappointed on her debut but reappeared 59 days later and up to 1800m when winning a minor event quite conclusively on soft ground at Chantilly. Her trainer won this G1 in 2021.
