Verdict

HAPPILY is the only Group 1 winner in the field and it was testing ground when she won the Moyglare at the Curragh beating Magical, due to run in the previous race. She’s a sister to Gleneagles, harshly demoted in the 2014 renewal having passed the post first, so this extra distance should not prove a problem as Aidan O’Brien’s filly takes on the colts. Masar also steps up in trip after winning the Group 3 Solario at Sandown and is preferred to stablemate and Champagne Stakes third Mythical Magic while Francesco Bere has won a Listed race at Deauville and collateral form gives him the beating of Olmedo. Woodmax has won a conditions race at Maisons-Laffitte and makes up the field.
