2/7
Smart filly. Didn't need to improve to win 12-runner Cape Verdi at this course (8f, good, 5/6) 21 days ago by ¾ length from White Moonlight. Return to a longer trip will suit and she could be hard to beat.

Dual winner last summer. 66/1 and hooded for 1st time, 7½ lengths seventh of 12 to With The Moonlight in Cape Verdi at this course (8f, good) 21 days ago, finishing with running left. Could get closer this time.

Useful filly. First run since leaving Fabrice Vermeulen when 8¼ lengths eighth of 12 to With The Moonlight in Cape Verdi (50/1) at this course (8f, good) 21 days ago. Very hard to make a case for.

9/2
Useful filly. Career best when winning 12-runner Prix de Flore (85/10) at Saint-Cloud (10.4f, heavy) when last seen in October. Big-money purchase from Joseph O'Brien and an interesting runner.

Forecasts

With The Moonlight (2/7), Tranquil Lady (9/2), In Time (12/1), Katoucha (22/1), Lyrical Poetry (33/1), Kennella (40/1), Ascot Brass (66/1), Iron Butterfly (66/1)

Verdict

A Group 2 dominated by Godolphin in recent years and WITH THE MOONLIGHT is well placed to give Charlie Appleby a fifth straight win in the race. Her only blip last season came when too free in the Oaks and she looked all class when making a successful return over a trip short of her best in the Cape Verdi 3 weeks ago. Her new stablemate Tranquil Lady is an interesting alternative, while French runner In Time could get closer to the selection this time.
