Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Thani's once-raced OSMOSE (FR) (Zoffany {Ire}) attained 'TDN Rising Star' status with an impressive takedown of a Deauville debutantes' heat last month and steps up to seven furlongs in this return for the Jean-Claude Rouget stable. She encounters a trio of previous winners which includes David Curran's Clarence C (Ire) (Caravaggio), who is a Nick Littmoden-trained half-brother to G1 Matron S. heroine Chachamaidee (Ire) (Footstepsinthesand {GB}); Andre Fabre representative Mathletic (Fr) (Kingman {GB}), the once-out winner of a July 7 maiden over this course and distance; and the unbeaten Just Bere (Fr) (Pedro the Great), who lines up for Mathieu Brasme with a perfect three-for-three record.
