Unbeaten Aga Khan filly that flew up in 1600m Gr.3 Prix Aumale here on 12 September. Appears to have a bright future ahead of her and it is not easy to see her being bested

Complemented her Deauville victory with 2nd of 5 in 1400m Gr.1 Moyglare Stud S. at the Curragh 3 weeks ago. Breaks wide but jockey will not be discouraged and, supplemented, must be taken seriously

Impressive in first 4 before finishing last of 5 in Gr.1 Moyglare Stud S. at the Curragh 3 weeks ago. Has had time to re-set and, if back on track, can make a big splash

3rd of 5 in 1400m Gr.1 Moyglare Stud S. at the Curragh 3 weeks ago. Keeps on progressing and while difficult to beat a tuned BEDTIME STORY (3), she should nevertheless be competitive for a place on the podium

Consistently gives everything she has, latterly [7L] 3rd to ZARIGANA (1) in 1600m Gr.3 Prix Aumale here on 12 September. Not an obvious candidate for success but can still finish in the mix

Won smartly on debut late-June before repeating mid-August in a 1500m Deauville Class 2 conditions race. Is a progressive filly but has ground to make up and looks more a minor place prospect

Won 3 on the trot before running 4th, close to ROSA SALVAJE (5), behind ZARIGANA (1) in 1600m Gr.3 Prix Aumale here 3.5 weeks ago. Should be able to hold her own but still faces a stiff test

Race Overview
Blue-blooded grand-daughter of Zarkava, who herself secured this race before winning the Arc a year later, ZARIGANA (1) has been unopposed in both starts to date and will take all the beating. Easy winner of the Prix du Calvados, Simmering followed that up with an excellent Moyglare run and will be no pushover. BEDTIME STORY (3), the choice of Ryan Moore, was oddly out of sorts that day after having won her first 4, but is unlikely to be as uncompetitive this time round. Stablemate EXACTLY (4) finished an encouraging 3rd that day and may just find Longchamp to her liking.

1 - 2 - 3
