Andre Fabre has captured Chantilly's G2 Prix de Sandringham on a record nine occasions, and sends a dark prospect to Sunday's renewal in the Wertheimers's High Quality (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}). Untried in this type of company, the homebred beat the subsequent winner Roshanara (Fr) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) in a mile maiden at Saint-Cloud last time May 1 and on a line through that rival is closely matched with the May 9 Listed Prix Volterra winner Volta (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}). High Quality is a half-sister to Solow (GB) (Singspiel {Ire}), so there is unlimited potential locked in and her master trainer is peerless at bringing it out. Anne-Marie Hayes's Besotted (Ire) (Dutch Art {GB}) is one who has already shown she can handle it in black-type company, having beaten the G3 Prix Imprudence third Rosay (Ire) (Raven's Pass) in the Listed Prix Aymeri de Mauleon over a mile at Toulouse Apr. 30. Totally unproven on the other hand is His Highness the Aga Khan's Zayva (Fr) (Raven's Pass), who was the Alain de Royer-Dupre stable's second string when scoring on debut over this trip at Saint-Cloud May 11.
