Formscan - Inspiral was able to put her disappointment at Newmarket well behind her when winning the Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville last time and she's likely to be a very warm order today. However, at the likely prices, it might be worth taking her on with Charlie Appleby's superstar colt MODERN GAMES. He's now 3-4 at a mile having won at Longchamp and Woodbine this year and his only defeat at this distance came at the hands of Baaeed, so he's taken to add another Group 1 to his CV here. Jadoomi clearly has a bit to find with some of these, but he's improving at a rate of knots and Simon & Ed Crisford's gelding is entitled to maximum respect.
