In depth

Verdict

The Oaks winner Tuesday finished in front of Lilac Road when second in the Yorkshire Oaks and is also preferred to stablemate History. Albaflora has a shout on last year’s second on Champions Day at Ascot though hasn’t raced since May and the progressive LA PARISIENNE is preferred in this. She took a big step forward when just failing to haul in Nashwa in the French Oaks at Chantilly and can confirm running with both Agave and Fall In Love over this longer trip. The unexposed Baiykara was beaten only a neck in a Group 3 here and makes more appeal than Sweet Lady.
