Stepped up on debut when winning 6-runner minor event at Chantilly but this is a big ask.

Has progressed with each of her 5 races and gained her second win in Group 3 over C&D last month. More needed again but not taken lightly.

Has won both her starts, valuable newcomers race at Deauville in August and 6-runner minor event at Chantilly (evens, comfortably by 2 lengths, making all) in September. Bit to find but is a useful performer in the making.

Looked to have had her limitations exposed when third in the Prix du Bois but the step up to 7f has brought improvement, winning listed event at Vichy and Group 2 at Deauville last 2 starts. Will stay 1m and needs considering.

225,000 2-y-o by Blameo. Tongue tied, 68/10, had her rivals strung out in behind when winning 9-runner minor event at Lyon Parilly by 3½ lengths, readily drawing clear. Will improve.

Showed much improved form to get back to winning ways in Group 3 at the Curragh by a wide margin 5 weeks ago. Player for trainer who has won this 4 times.

Won minor events at La Teste in August and September, latter very impressively by 4½ lengths, taking strong hold and drawing clear without coming off bridle. Will go on to better things.

Forecasts

Opera Singer (2/1), Darnation (2/1), Les Pavots (11/2), Rose Bloom (8/1), Ribaltagaia (12/1), Julica (12/1), Freville (22/1), Zandy (40/1), Extraordinaire (66/1), Voodoo Magic (80/1)

Verdict

DARNATION sets a solid standard after her 3-length win in the May Hill at Doncaster so looks the way to go. Opera Singer must be respected on the back of her wide-margin win in a Group 3 at the Curragh, while Les Pavots and Julica make the most appeal from the home team.
