His Leicester win over Kachy and his Newbury fourth to Take Cover read well in this company. But he looked ploddy that day and a three-month absence followed by a drop into this company is disconcerting. Roly Poly beat them in the Prix Rothschild, at which point Aidan O’Brien’s filly had been beaten only by Winter in four Group Ones. Roly Poly can show her ability once more with Moore back aboard. Usherette comes into the reckoning and will be fine on the ground but trailed Roly Poly by three lengths at Deauville in the summer.
