In depth

Verdict

Azano won a Group 3 contest at Chantilly last year when trained by John Gosden and has switched to a new yard. Devil is also proven in this grade with a victory at Maisons-Laffitte in October though ran nowhere near the same level on his reappearance and SPINNING MEMORIES makes more appeal. A Group 3 winner at Deauville in 2019, Pascal Bary’s mare landed a Listed contest over today’s trip at Longchamp earlier in the month and another bold bid is expected in this. Milord's Song and Stunning Spirit have more to find at this level and Stormbringer’s recent success at Chantilly came in a handicap.
