Verdict
A superb start to the day with plenty of speedy juveniles to sort through and we will side with KERATIYA, while Zebedee and Meow look to be leading players. The selection was eased when beaten in a Deauville Group 1 last time but has won both her starts over the minimum trip when there was also cut in the ground on each occasion. She showed a good attitude when winning a Group 3 at Chantilly and we will side with her. Another who will handle the ground is Zebedee, the cosy winner of a big prize at Newmarket last time. He has plenty of speed and Richard Hughes will be playing him late. Meow remains unexposed and very classy but the slower ground will be against David Wachman's filly, while Electric Waves looks a lively each-way alternative. New Planet and Bathwick Bear both have hope on ground that will be against a number of others and Keratiya is selected.
