Verdict
EMBRACE THE MOMENT just failed to catch the winner when runner-up at Newmarket a week ago but Ryan Moore keeps the partnership intact and she can go one better. The Hannon filly looks to have stronger form than Yarmouth runner-up Model Guest and Queen Constantine but one of the newcomers may provide a tougher challenge. Teresita Alvarez cost 270,000 euros at the breeze-up sales in May but Ceratonia is a half-sister to stablemate and Group 1 winner Wild Illusion and makes more appeal.
