The real shake up in the market happened when the four-year-old filly Treve was entered in the running and has now been backed down to second favourite status with an enticing 9/2 support showing that punters really believe she is the real deal and could get the job done on the day.

By Motivator out of an Anabaa mare, she was able to complete a four from four track record by capturing a Group 1 contest at Longchamp on September 15 to go along with her massive score at Chantilly back in June in the Prix De Diane - which she won by a massive four length margin. 

She has demonstrated the ability to win races by coming late or by pressing the pace and that shows versatility beyond her years. What is most impressive is that she has only run four races and looks likely to acquit herself well tangling with male company.

She will get a generous weight allowance and, likely, ground that will suit her best style of running. 

Look for Treve to potentially shock the world.
