Volta hacked up about two weeks ago in a gr 2 and was so impressive, remarkable turn of foot. La Cressioniere is a lovely filly, unbeaten, who won the french 1000 guineas for me at 7/1, form is strong as we've seen Qemah who was third come out and win the Coronation at Ascot. Ballydoyle won the Marcel Boussac last season at France and last seen when running second to minding in the 1000 guineas when she had a troubled passage. Swiss Range, who I rate a bit, cruised to victory last time, even song 3rd came out to win the Ribblesdale at Ascot.
As I said, I could easily make a case for any of the four but i'll narrow it down to two.
Ballydoyle - around 3/1 and Swiss Range 6/1
Seeing how the O Brien second strings won at Ascot I wouldn't rule out Coolmore .
Also they would have booked those two names well in advance to keep for what they think are smart horses. Ballydoyle and Coolmore.
