Verdict

Agartha is one of the more exposed though finished runner-up in a Group 1 at the Curragh last time while Rockfel third Oscula beat Zellie earlier when landing a Group 3 for George Boughey at Deauville. The latter was also beaten by stablemate Fleur D’Iris over track and trip more recently but a third Andre Fabre runner in RACLETTE makes most appeal. Unbeaten after defeating three previous winners by a long way at Chantilly, the Frankel filly looks capable of going close at the highest level. Dual novice winner Natasha also steps up in class for the Gosden yard while Acer Alley and Who Knows have both won Group 3 contests over 7f and are preferred to Times Square.
