Formscan - Prix de Diane winner SPARKLING PLENTY (5) carries the hopes of the French and has been prepared for this Group I engagement. YLANG YLANG (7) finished behind FALLEN ANGEL (10) last month in a Leopardstown Group I over 1600m but, with this longer trip and soft ground likely to suit, is good value to turn the tables on that rival who races beyond a mile for the first time. The shortlist is completed by progressive last-start winners CONTENT (11) and HANALIA (4), though a case could be made for several others.
