Verdict

SNOWFALL hasn't quite scaled the same heights of late that saw her complete the English/Irish Oaks double, yet she was far from disgraced when finishing sixth in the Arc at the start of the month and this looks a good opportunity for her to resume winning ways back against her own sex. Albaflora, runner-up to the selection at York in August, and improving Invite can also feature.
