At the moment it looks to me as if we have a grand bunch of 3 y o but not one Superstar of any age .
If you interpolate from Maltese Cross then you can make out a case for Ancient Egypt . Take the rosiest view of his Saratoga run and you get him on +2 which ties in with his run in France . His narrow defeat by Causeway can be pushed if you accept that the winner is as good at 12f as he is at a mile . Amo take plenty of stick for paying " too much " for well bred youngsters but they only go one bid more than the under bidder . At any one time the loser might be Coolmore , Godolphin or any other well breeched combine .
The form book says that Diamond Necklace should be dropped .
The slight changes are due to wfa .
Thundering On did not beat much yesterday . Lilt , Red Letter and Timeforshowcasing would not figure in an Arc . The rating is there but not much class .
If you believe that both Almaqam and Bay City Roller ran to their best when Saddadd was third then he becomes +3 and is over priced at 33/1 .
Aventure looks over priced too . Runner up to Bluestocking in 2024 and possibly over the top last year when her target was the Vermeille she has each way prospects .
