Verdict

I Am Beautiful picked up a Group 3 contest at the Curragh recently and a winner has already come out of the race. The Ballydoye filly has leading claims but ARABIAN QUEEN is just preferred. She caught the eye making up ground in the latter stages of the Queen Mary over 5f at Ascot and Ryan Moore takes over the reins for this longer trip. Parsley went close in a Listed event over track and trip last time and makes more appeal than both Diamond Creek and Tongue Twista but Chantilly winner High Celebrity is one to keep an eye on representing Andre Fabre.
