Tapestry left in Prix Vermeille Yorkshire Oaks heroine Tapestry is among 13 potential rivals for the brilliant Treve in the Prix Vermeille at Longchamp this weekend. Treve was successful in the Group One contest 12 months ago before her stunning victory in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and although she has been off the track since pulling muscles at Royal Ascot, she remains the star turn this weekend. The Aidan O'Brien-trained Tapestry would certainly be a formidable opponent if she does make the journey to Paris on Sunday having taken away King George heroine Taghrooda's unbeaten record last month on the Knavesmire. She is, however, also engaged in the Coolmore Fastnet Rock Matron Stakes at Leopardstown on Saturday. Taghrooda's trainer John Gosden has a couple of major contenders in Pomology and Sultanina. Pomology has not been seen since beating Sultanina in the Lancashire Oaks at Haydock in early July, while her stablemate has since claimed Group One glory in the Nassau Stakes at Glorious Goodwood. David Simcock's Madame Chiang is the only other potential British challenger. Alain de Royer-Dupre's trio of Vazira, Mintaka and Dolniya and the Andre Fabre-trained Baltic Baroness also feature.
