Imperial Charm is the only UK representative and finished a creditable fourth in the French 1000 Guineas here a fortnight ago behind runner-up Commes. But the latter was beaten by SIYARAFINA at the track last month and Alain De Royer-Dupre has won this Group 1 contest three times in the last nine years. She’ll stay this extra distance but Fount looks less likely on breeding having won a conditions race over a mile at Saint-Cloud. Idiosa is another unbeaten filly and she won over today’s trip at Maisons- Laffitte last time but Montviette and Cala Tarida have something to find on collateral form with the selection. Phoceene was narrowly beaten in a Group 3 recently but Platane won in the same grade over 1m1f here when beating a subsequent winner and makes more appeal.
