Weld said: “Tarnawa is in good form, but she’s a five-year-old now and is probably not as forward as she was for her return last year.
“She’s in good form and I’m very satisfied with her going into the race, but the warning I would give is that she’s not as forward as this time last year.
“She’s obviously a year older and you must remember we had a very dry spell of weather, so I’ve had to be very careful in my training of her. Hopefully she has a long campaign in front of her on the way to the Arc, all being well.”
I always think this, and its probably never happened since Dancing Brave, but IF THEY ALL TURNED UP (which they won’t), it would be some bloody race this season.

Might be wrong but have totally convinced myself now Mishriff is coming here after York. Topped up at just over 60/1 on the exchanges. I mean who in the right mind would lay a horse like that at 60/1, they must be totally nuts
Think there is a fair chance of most turning up (although I think running Hurricane Lane in the St Leger as a prep is a very bad idea) but fingers crossed they all pass their respective trial races with flying colours and we get ground in the ball park of good/good to soft so nobody can duck it on ground issues.
Nice return. Its always great seeing a top class horse in the Aga Khan colours. What a loss to English Racing he has been over the last few decades.

Ew 40/1
I’d say connections never saw that one coming…I wasn’t that impressed – I mean it wasn’t that I wasn’t impressed with her she was great and did all that was needed but again she’s beaten Listed/G3 fillies by miles if you take Wonderful Tonight out and she’s clearly not run near her form. Adayar’s form is head and shoulders above Snowfall’s.
Came here to post pretty much the same thing, TinMan.
Snowfall has beaten what’s in front of her but Wonderful Tonight ran nowhere near her best and the rest are rubbish. I’ll be more than happy if Snowfall is cut for the Arc after that; hopefully, Adayar will be pushed out half a point and I can top up again on him.
I’ve cashed out Wonderful Tonight as i cant see her turning it around. Snowfall v Adayar one to savour. Snowfall i favour over Adayar on soft or worse.
In fairness to her before others get in with this its not strictly true that she hasn’t beaten some good fillies but neither Zeyaadah nor Santa Barbara turned up in the Epsom Oaks and both have thrived having dropped back to 10F. Wonderful Tonight has shown today that unfortunately she is a mudlark and if it came up heavy I wouldn’t completely rule her out of hitting the frame at least at Longchamp. Everything else Snowfall has beaten this season would be 100/1+ shots in an Arc.
Snowfall hasn’t beaten much but plenty of horses have beaten not much but not in the way she does. She takes lengths out of them with gears still to be played. If she is as tough as she is class she could be pretty special.
Charles Darwin to conquer the World
Didn’t seem to quite finish out her race lik in the Oaks; perhaps Moore went for the race a bit early. But keeps winning Grade 1s by big distances, can’t ask more than that
