William Buick sticks with the supplemented Derby and King George hero Adayar rather than triple Group 1 winner Hurricane Lane. The former beat the latter and Mojo Star at Epsom and a bold is expected. Ballydoyle have also supplemented a three-time Group 1 winner in Snowfall and she’s reunited with Ryan Moore having been beaten in a trial race here last month. Stablemate Love has avoided soft going so far and was no match for Adayar in the King George while Broome found the Japanese colt Deep Bond too good in the Prix Foy here. But the latter’s compatriot CHRONO GENESIS (NAP) makes more appeal on her second in the Dubai Sheema Classic back in March. Beaten only a neck by subsequent Juddmonte International winner Mishriff on that occasion, Takashi Saito’s mare has won a Grade 1 contest back in Japan since then and Oisin Murphy does the steering. Tarnawa is a leading contender having won the Prix de l’Opera on last year’s card before landing the Breeders’ Cup Turf and she has the beating of Raabihah while French Derby second Sealiway is upped in distance and Alenquer has a bit to find with a couple of these.
