Head has Cheveley Park in view for impressive Polydream
Sobetsu continues Deauville love affair in Prix de la Nonette
The Head family have plenty of history with the Cheveley Park Stakes and Polydream could be the next challenger to be prepared for Newmarket after making it two from two in impressive style in the Shadwell Prix du Calvados.
"She has a lot of class, a magnificent action and does it all very easily," said trainer Freddy Head after Polydream earned quotes of 33-1 for next season's Qipco 1,000 Guineas.
"For the moment I think she'd get seven furlongs, but as to a mile we'll have to see. The Cheveley Park could be next and we've plenty of time to find out if she stays after that."
Karl Burke has high hopes for runner-up Laurens, who finished two and a half lengths clear of the remainder under PJ McDonald.
"She's a beautiful filly and we think she's a proper Group 1 filly in the making for next year," said Burke.
"I'd imagine if she takes this race well she could go to the May Hill next, and next year she'll be a mile-and-a-quarter filly."
Sobetsu back to favourite hunting ground
"We were confident coming here on the back of her third in the Nassau," said trainer Charlie Appleby. "Her only disappointing run was when she didn't see out the mile and a half in the Oaks.
"From here there is either Chantilly [Prix de l'Opera] or a possible trip to Keeneland for the Queen Elizabeth. She'll go wherever the ground has a bit of ease."
Onthemoonagain was two and a half lengths back in second, while Prix de Diane heroine Senga was a further three-quarters of a length behind in third.
"The wide draw made it hard as she travelled wide the whole way round but Stephane [Pasquier] wasn't hard on her at the end and we'll go on to the Opera," said Senga's trainer Pascal Bary.
