Verdict

CHARYN should have completed a hat-trick of Group 1 wins in the Prix du Moulin de Longchamp 6 weeks ago and can make amends in what isn't a particularly strong renewal. Improving 3-y-o filly Tamfana rates the main threat on the back of her stylish win in the Sun Chariot at Newmarket 2 weeks ago, while Facteur Cheval is a solid performer at this level and is also likely to be in the mix.

  1. CHARYN (IRE)
  2. TAMFANA (GER)
  3. FACTEUR CHEVAL (IRE)
