Both heading straight to guineas off the back of winning a class 4. 16/1 still there. Will need good ground. That's my only concern.

The form of Rhododendron was boosted by the victory of Hydrangea; Promise To Be True was again outpaced (I think), and looked more of an Oaks filly. The extra furlong in this race will see an improvement in her, I hope.

Talaayeb should come into her own over middle distances, but she surprised connections by the amount of speed she showed in her maiden win over 7f, so perhaps she'll have enough toe for the Guineas. She didn't handle the dip terribly well at Newmarket, but that might have been down to greenness. Whether she's good enough to win a Guineas is another matter...!

Via Ravenna (trained by André Fabre) comfortably maintained her unbeaten record in the Prix Imprudence this afternoon. She is not entered for the 1000 Guineas and would need to be supplemented. She's a well-bred daughter of Raven's Pass and should be well suited by a step up to a mile. Awaiting news about future plans.

Stablemate Double Lady, beaten in last season's Gr.3 Oh So Sharp Stakes, finished last.

Wuheida seems weak here, takers at 100 or more for pittance only - nothing amiss, I hope.

Well done impossible 123, you were on the case.

Why would it be ironic - the Boussac in run in France so they are surely more likely to run in the French classics?

Fair Eva looks interesting on her best form, but will she reproduce it? Old-school punters like me will remember that the 1000 is usually won by a filly with proven 2yo form - one that goes into the winter rated 110+ officially. Rhododendron ticks that box and little else does, but she doesn't look convincing to me. I'll have a small punt on something with a bit more 'promise'. TALAAYEB didn't beat much on her only run to date, but she did it well, will stay and is the subject of good recent reports. I'll take a (small) chance @ 14/1. Good luck.

The 27(?) according to the Sporting Life includes Alrahma who sadly is no longer with us.

Very embarrassing for whoever is responsible. This is a declaration stage too, so not just a simple left in in error is it?

james somebody said on here awhile ago it cant b right then or surely it wud not still b on here

Yup. Just checked on the France Galop website: the entry states that she died last month.

I think Hydrangea is the one underestimated by the market.

Ok has it to do to turn around the form with the favourite but she was the only one to give her a race in the fillies mile and Hydrangea will have race fitness on her side. She did well to win last time out given they came to her and the extra furlong has to be in her favour.

She's tough as old boots and anything beating her will know it's been in a race. Assuming she lines up can't have her outside the top three.

I think figgis has raised doubts about fair eva earlier in the thread and that could well be wrong of course but it's possible that she's something of a hype horse. James SP has also brought up doubts about her stamina.

Couldn't have the favourite at 5-2 given she doesn't have a huge amount in hand on her stablemate and we've seen in the guineas before, like with homecoming queen how the O'Brien second string can often come up trumps.

The owen burrows filly interesting of course but just that niggling doubt about her form being good enough. everything to race behind her in her maiden win has been beaten since.

G Mosse jocked up for her m8.

its looking like both sea of grace and dabyah are france bound according to the odds on here

Going for Urban Fox each way - there are so many doubts about the market leaders and I can see her nicking a place - Nashwan in the pedigree so likely to have got stronger over the winter and not a bad run as a pipe opener.

Because of the victories of Seventh Heaven and Churchill Rhododendron is only 6/4 to win this tomorrow.

Maybe I'm hoping here but have a feeling Obrien won't win this race. I mentioned Hydrangea earlier and she's quite tough but just none of his fillies really excite me.

Think Talaayeb under the radar but massive chance.

plenty value elsewhere now this markets not right now rhodo may win but shes no 5/4 shot

The worst quality field I can remember for a while. For me, the best form any of them achieved last year was Queen Kindly at York. She ran below par next time but that wasn't a total surprise after the hard race. She may come on for her first run of the season but there has to be a doubt about her staying this trip, also she may just turn out to have given her best as a 2yo. I said last year that Fair Eva's Ascot win had been overrated and that seemed to be proved true afterwards, nevertheless, against this moderate lot she'd have a decent chance as I'd expect her to stay the mile. Rhododendron's price seems to be based entirely on her Fillies Mile win but that was an odd race in my view as the rest either didn't perform or stay the mile at that stage of their career. The final time was rubbish. Her previous form puts her in the mix here but her price looks well too short so I've laid her.
