105 Expert View: Quickened, did it readily, improved again up in trip when winning a handicap here by 2 1/2l last time; top course trainer; wide draw; effective at 7-8f, acts on AW; progressive, more to come at 1m but this a big ask so early in career.

Further terms and conditions may apply
112 Expert View: Possibly challenged bit early, pace collapsed beaten 7l in a Group 3 at Chantilly last time; wide draw; effective 8-9f, acts on good to soft, good AW; Listed winner last term, no penalty here so a threat if fit.
103 Expert View: Well beaten when down the field in Sceptre Fillies' Stakes (Group 3) at Doncaster most recent; suited by a mile (best 6f at 2yo), acts on any; placed at Group level last term but ended season out of form.
126 Expert View: Ran to form when fourth beaten 2l in Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf (Grade 1) at Del Mar latest; trainer in form; returning from a break; effective 8-11f, acts on soft, firm and AW; generally consistent, big player down in class.
89 Expert View: Below form on handicap debut beaten 10l in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective 7/8f, acts on AW, goes well off the front; ex-Juddmonte, looked re-invigorated for new connections on debut but vulnerable in this grade.
105 Expert View: Below form, outclassed beaten 6l in Valiant Stakes (Group 3) at Ascot last time; in good form prior; effective 1m, acts on good to firm and AW; both wins gained over this C&D; consistent but more needed to figure at Listed level.
106 Expert View: Outclassed when down the field in Wentworth Stakes (Listed) at Doncaster most recent; returning from a break; wide draw; effective 7/8f, acts on any, sound surface may suit best; likely flattered by Group run.
108 Expert View: Ran to current level beaten 3 1/2l in Rosemary Stakes (Listed) at Newmarket last time; in good form prior; suited by 1m, acts on a sound surface; progressive and has placed at this level; more needed again on return.
108 Expert View: Struggled here beaten 6 1/4l in Fortune Stakes (Listed) at Sandown last time; effective 8/9f, acts on AW; still open to improivement but plenty to find on the figures.
101 Expert View: Ran to form a head third in a handicap at Newmarket most recent run; hugely progressive over 7f to 1m on a sound surface; progressive handicapper looks vulnerable at this level on return.
125 Expert View: Yard won this last year; ran to form up in class 6 1/4l third in Turf Cup (Group 2) at Riyadh most recent run; effective at 10-12f on soft, good and AW; ex-French where Group 1 placed last year, leading chance given class edge on rivals.
93 Expert View: Did it readily and outclassed rivals, improved when winning a novice at Newcastle by 4 1/2l last time; bred for 10f+, effective 1m, acts on AW; pedigree suggests much more to come though needs it up in class.
Verdict
A pair stand out on the figures here in Cathedral and SURVIE. The former is yet to add to her debut victory but she did place at Group level last term before running a big race at Grade 1 level in the US. However she concedes a fitness edge to the favourite who is already a winner on the polytrack for her new stable. This track may be on the sharp side for the former Prix de Malleret winner but she was capable of finishing runner up in last year's Prix Jean Romanet so she may simply outclass this line up. American Gal was a winner at this level in France last spring and is best forgiven her latest run where she challenged too early off a strong pace. She may do best of the rest in a decent renewal.
