Verdict
Tough call at the top, Water To Wine is the better physical overall.
Parade ring updates
6 Water To Wine (first entry below) - saddling outside, no issues but they seem to be treating him with great care.
1 Ancient Egypt (first entry below) - showing signs of reluctance at times, hasn’t done this before.
1 Ancient Egypt - neighing on entry to pre-parade with two handlers, fairly relaxed, fit but lacking the presence of the top two.
2 Causeway - impressive mover, big moving type, no issue with refitted cheekpieces, high level of rib definition.
4 Golden Story - fussing and having a play about, high level of definition but plain compared to others.
5 Venetian Prince - always presents well, lengthy and similar type to siblings (See The Fire etc), plenty of rib definition.
6 Water To Wine - another eye catching individual, very tall but well built as well; has an easy demeanour, definitely improved physically since Newbury.

Joseph O’Brien: “She has a big kick, and used it in the Curragh on her last two runs, she ran very big, and today we were keen that she relaxed.
"Mickael gave her a super ride, she had a great set-up. I’m delighted for the guys, they’ve obviously just bought her recently from Simon and Isaac and they’ll be delighted, as we all are today. We thought she’d win last time but everything went wrong for her in the race, so we knew she was going to be better than what she was that day. She got a dream run up the rail and a great ride from Mickael with a light weight on her back. She was catching the eye from halfway, I thought.
“I think if Dylan could have made the weight, he probably would have chosen her, but it’s very hard choosing in these races, you need everything to go right, and you can’t say in advance where the bias is going to be. Whether we go for another handicap or for a stakes race, you’d like to think that on the back of today she could hold her own in stakes company.”
Verdict
Bintaziza and Mixed Feelings best pair.
Parade ring updates
1 Awaken - two handlers and has got warm, fit.
2 Mubasimah - always presents the same, low slung filly, fine.
3 Hope Queen - low set filly, compact and solid.
4 Just Call Me Angel - busy and has got warm, needs to settle.
5 Spinning Lizzie - normally keen and sane again, fine.
6 Zooming
7 Seet - big bodied filly, quality type, walks well.
8 Al Rateel - lovely condition, rippling muscles and shine to coat, like.
9 Repel - compact and together, fine at best.
10 Mixed Feelings - big, strapping filly, plenty to like.
11 Quiet Mutiny - sturdy framed but doesn’t appeal on fitness.
12 Glyfada - close coupled and low set, okay.
13 True Test - very tense and tight through the shoulders, others appeal more.
14 Harlequin Breeze - others catch the eye more, plain.
15 Brigid’s Well - fit and well, no issues.
16 Blingy’s Sister - one of the better models, very fit but needs to settle.
17 Tavana - fit but on toes, has settled better in the past.
18 Harlequin Angel - might tighten up a touch, okay.
19 Bintaziza - really lovely filly, long limbed and eye catching.
20 Green Carrera - strong and fit, plenty to like.
21 She Commands - slender frame but tall; fit and well

Aidan O’Brien: “It will be interesting to hear what Ryan said, she was a little bit slow away, I thought he did great on her, he kept out, kept her out of trouble. Delighted with her.
"Delighted for everybody. I thought Ryan was very good on her. It will be interesting. When she gets there, she looks a little bit. Delighted, delighted for the lads. And True Love was third as well, lovely run.
“She can do a lot of stuff, she can stay at a mile, she can step up, it will be interesting to see what Ryan says. I’m grateful and thankful to everybody for getting her here. She gets a little bit lazy, but when you do ask her, she really opens up – but that’s her. I think Ryan will probably say he was probably there a little bit earlier than he wanted, because he had to move early because he was very wide and he didn’t have any choice. I think she did great.”
Verdict
Precise best, Black Caviar Gold for an each-way at a longer price.
Parade ring updates
1 Balantina - will tighten up for the run, has filled out at three but will keep improving.
2 Black Caviar Gold - fit and fine, similar presentation to Ireland and no adverse effect from visor.
3 Moon Target - never appealed physically as a two year old and has filled into herself a bit more, okay fitness after a break.
4 Precise - has kept improving from a fitness perspective and looks lean. Fussing and on toes a little, getting a touch warm but nothing to make over concern at this stage.
5 Rose Ghaiyyath - compact and solid, fine but no better.
6 Sukanya - fussing and on toes, did the same at Newmarket but was better at the Curragh, slender and fit.
7 Timeforshowcasing - big solid filly, workmanlike appearance, strong and fit but not an aesthetic standout.
8 Touleen - presented fit on all starts far and does so again, fine.
9 True Love - always been a big strong filly, staying on a level, similar presentation to last two runs. Nothing to dislike.

James McDonald: “I didn’t know about the negatives of stall one - it’s a great barrier for us in Australia and anywhere around the world, really. They said it’s a bit of a coffin barrier, but it worked out really well for us.
"I was lucky I was on a really good horse that was well weighted, well prepared and came here in good order. They were so confident - I was speaking to a few of the guys, and they said, ‘if you do get the luck, he should be about winning’, so that gave me a huge amount of confidence.
“I’d say if I’d have had that uninterrupted run down the middle, he would have really opened up a bit. He came alive at the three marker and really built into the race, and from then I always felt like the winner - it was just a matter of weaving through.
"I was lucky he was able to quicken, because if he wasn’t, I’d have been labouring a bit and the gaps might not have appeared, so full credit to the horse.”
Verdict
Opportunity and Insanity best pair.
Parade ring updates
1 Burdett Road - fussing and playing about, others stand out more.
2 Ambiente Friendly - very warm and not concentrating, concern.
3 Mondo Man - always a good looking physical; likeable again.
4 Warrant Holder - has made the step forward from York, tightened up a bit, big strong type with plenty of chest.
5 Emit - has appealed in the past, not jumping out in the same way, for all he’s fit.
7 Nightime Dancer - plain, doesn’t appeal on fitness, will tighten up over ribs.
8 French Duke - little tentative with two handlers, fit and well.
9 Omni Man - makes plenty of appeal, early eye catcher with a high level of rib definition.
10 Hopewell Rock - has been sighted looking better, no major progression from reappearance.
11 Opportunity - has a bit of quality about him, tall and well built, fit.
12 Military Academy - carrying condition but does tend to present this way, little appeal.
13 Tuscan Hills - makes appeal from a fitness perspective.
14 Insanity - very fit, catching the eye.
16 Nesthorn - needs the run.
17 Teumessias Fox - lengthy and slender, always presents well.
18 Regal Ulixes - getting warm early, not much to make appeal.
19 Serengeti - definition behind, a little tense and warm.

Clifford Lee: "It's great. This filly has already got me my first Group One in France last year and to pull it off again this year is just fantastic. It's a pleasure to ride her and this is what it's all about, these big days.
"We obviously tried to stretch her for the Guineas over the mile but she's got loads of boot. I just told myself I'd try and kid her into the race and I think it was probably at the furlong pole when I asked the question, she's just fantastic.
"Once I hit the front she was just doing enough, but when the second horse came to me, she wouldn’t let the second horse get past me. I don’t really put pressure on myself; I’m here to do a job and get the winners, if we have a bit of luck and it goes right on the day, then happy days.
"It’s gone brilliant today but we knew she’s a really good filly - she obviously won the Prix Morny as a two-year-old. It’s fantastic for everyone. We obviously tried to stretch her to the mile, but dropped back to six, she’s been unbeaten now. She’s definitely a sprinter. A Group One at Ascot is great - everyone wants that Group One."
Verdict
Really good standard and hard to pick between some of these - Song On The Clyde and Zanthos catch the eye most but couldn’t put you off any of the leading contenders.
Parade ring updates
1 Albert Einstein - always an impressive physical, takes the eye again - similar presentation to last few runs.
2 Aspect Island - taken the run three days ago fine, alert and moving well.
3 Brussels - always been an impressive physical and continues to make appeal, fit and fine in first time cheekpieces.
4 Charles Darwin - stocky build and sweating, others preferred
5 Coppull - fit, similar to last time - compact sprinting type, little plain
6 Division - looks in good order, has rib definition, not much to dislike.
7 Havana Hurricane - better than Newbury from a fitness perspective, never going to stand out as quite a plain sort.
8 My Calyx Cen - has got very warm but well muscled and defined, fine.
9 Northern Champion - leggy and angular compared to a lot of these, doesn’t stand out physically.
10 Outfielder - bull of a colt, big chest and not lacking for height either, likeable.
11 Rock On Thunder - very on toes, tail swishing and throwing himself about
12 Samangan - big, strong colt, having a few keen moments but easily managed, plenty to like.
13 Song On The Clyde - has plenty of quality to match the best in this field, strong top line and rear end.
14 Super Soldier - fit and wiry, good level of definition.
15 Wise Approach - always been good looking, two handlers but easy to manage, no fitness queries.
16 Fitzella - light framed filly, little busy but standard paddock behaviour for her.
17 Havana Anna - leggy athletic build, plain through the coat, doesn’t stand out.
18 Kimi Rey - plain and moderate compared to some of these, lacking in physical presence.
19 Midnight Tango - small, compact type, fit and fine.
20 Spicy Marg - looks well, tall athletic filly, has been presenting well and does so again.
21 Venetian Sun - looks in great order, not the prettiest of fillies from an aesthetic point of view but she’s all muscle
22 Zanthos - light framed and slender filly, tends to present fit and catches the eye.

Billy Loughnane: "This is no surprise. I loved her before her first ever run, her work had been very good and I was pleased she did everything right that day on a very hot day at Leicester. She handled the prelims brilliantly. I had an uncompromising draw but switched her off and she showed an explosive turn of foot.
"It's great and George has got his team in such great shape; he's a fantastic trainer and I'm the lucky one that gets to partner some very talented horses. I'm so hungry to ride winners and to be riding in these races is what you want.
"I do think she'll stay seven; it's a stiff six here today and she gives herself every chance. It will be interesting and she'll have some loftier targets now."
Verdict
Sun Goddess clear best, Dark Issue and Topaz also liked.
Parade ring updates
1 Acclamation Star (below also) - second handler added, negative.
1 Acclamation Star - fairly lengthy, walks well, wears red hood but nice and straightforward.
2 Bated Benevolence - neat filly, well balanced. Starting to get a touch warm, but not through being nervy.
3 Blue Sign - compact, stocky build, okay.
4 Crazy Cubana - a little busy and lacks the class of others, doesn’t jump out on fitness either.
5 Dark Issue - one of the better models, physically quite forward and has a good demeanour to match.
6 Dee’s Funny Girl - heavy set filly, fine for frame but doesn’t stand out.
7 Desert Sands - little weak through neck, marginally better physical of the yards pair.
8 Dubai Charm - compact, speedy type but has got very warm.
9 Glamorize - very tense and tight through the shoulders, good level of fitness.
10 Hidden Gift - lean and agile, little tense and warm but no major concerns.
11 Jolivette - good size, quite solidly built compared to some of these, still a little green but nothing alarming.
12 King’s Prize - plain filly, quite a raw physical, fine level of fitness.
13 Kochella - plain and doesn’t appeal on physical, quite poor through the coat.
14 Libertango - little weak through the frame and doesn’t make physical appeal, although was the same when winning at Leicester.
15 Light Of Dawn - strong filly, bum high still and will grow a little more, fit.
16 Love Is - has got very warm, has got muscle definition but others jump out more.
17 Magnesium - big sizeable filly, one for the notebook, doesn’t appear spot on today.
18 Ron’s Angel - busy, compact filly, has got very warm between back legs where been fussing.
19 Roxelina - looks heavy.
20 Silent Beauty - little unsure, two handlers but fit and well.
21 Sun Goddess - easily the best juvenile seen from the O’Brien yard this week, big, scopey filly with a loose walk.
22 Tall Trees - presenting heavy, doesn’t appeal on fitness.
23 Topaz - one of the better models, racy and agile.
24 Valentina Bella - very keen and fussy, will need to be well managed, others preferred.
