John Gosden won this in 2015 and Entitle is attempting to reverse running in the Musidora at York with the winner Nausha. Neither have raced on ground this soft before but the likely favourite SIYARAFINA has. The latter goes from strength to strength having won the Group 1 Prix Saint Alery over today’s trip at Longchamp last month and Alain De Royer-Dupre’s progressive filly has already beaten Commes, who subsequently went close in the French 1000 Guineas. The latter looks the best of four Jean-Claude Rouget runners ahead of Group 3 winner Etoile while Wonderment will be sharper for last month’s reappearance having won the Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud over 1m2f as a two-year-old. Channel beat Ebony in a conditions race over track and trip last time and the unbeaten Listed winner Amarena has her first start for new Japanese connections.
