        In depth

        Verdict

        EARTHLIGHT remains unbeaten in six starts on varying ground. Andre Fabre’s star warmed-up nicely for this with a facile Listed success here and landed a Group 1 double in the Prix Morny and Middle Park last year beating Golden Horde on both occasions though only by a neck at Newmarket. The latter won his own Group 1 contest when successful in the Commonwealth Cup at Ascot in June while Hello Youmzain won the Diamond Jubilee at Ascot a day later. The progressive Space Blues is unbeaten over 7f this year culminating in the Group 2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood and looks a bigger threat than Ballydoyle’s Lope Y Fernandez while Frankie is back on board the latter’s stablemate and 2000 Guineas runner-up Wichita. Wooded and Spinning Memories are others with something to find at this level with the remainder even harder to recommend.
