Verdict

Last year's French 1000 Guineas winner ELUSIVE WAVE isn't entirely straightforward but is worth chancing here. She remains a potent threat at this level and after chasing Goldikova home in the Prix d'Astarte at Deauville, she gained a confidence-boosting win when dropped in grade at that track last time. Emerald Commander won at Baden-Baden and the Godolphin representative will love underfoot conditions here. Sweet Hearth was placed in the Foret at this meeting last term but hasn't been firing on all cylinders of late so Royal Bench, fifth behind Makfi in the Jacques Le Marois last time, is taken for the forecast spot.
