Verdict
This looks wide-open but Solow may start favourite on the back of her easy win in a Group 3 at Deauville, where Olivier Peslier always had her at the head of affairs. Emirate's Girl is an interesting runner but may need this. Pinturicchio didn't handle the heavy ground last time and has a chance on earlier form while Decathlete and Matorion are others to consider. La Hoguette hasn't been beaten in far in her last two starts, including when finishing ahead of Veda at Chantilly in June, and also has each-way claims but this can go to KENHOPE. She was only fourth when bidding for a hat-trick in the Matron Stakes at the Curragh last month but was right on the heels of some very smart fillies and this looks a bit easier.
