Euphrasia still in Ascot frame

Euphrasia could still run on Qipco British Champions Day at Ascot after failing to show her true colours at Longchamp on Saturday.

Trainer John Murphy felt conditions in Paris were not demanding enough for the soft-ground-loving mare, who beat just three horses home in the Prix de Royallieu.

The five-year-old had previously boasted good form at the top table, most significantly when third in the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh, and might still end up back in Group One company for the Qipco British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes on October 18.
