Verdict

INSPIRAL holds the clear edge on form and, as on her previous visit here when impressively landing the Coronation Stakes on the round course she can confirm herself a filly right out of the top drawer with a convincing success. Modern Games looked better than ever when scoring at Woodbine last time so Charlie Appleby's French 2000 Guineas hero appeals as clear second best. 2020 victor The Revenant and the improving Jadoomi can fight it out for minor honours in a cracking renewal of this Group 1.
