Pearls Galore was narrowly beaten in this last year and though behind SAFFRON BEACH in France last time ran a bit better than the form suggests. The latter made most to beat Tenebrism in that Deauville Group 1 and might just have too much experience for Homeless Songs, a very impressive winner of the Irish 1000 Guineas in May but unraced subsequently. Dermot Weld's filly easily holds Agartha and the remainder face very difficult tasks in a strong renewal.
