André Fabre and Maxime Guyon doubled-up in the Prix Douve for unraced fillies, as Argentella pulled 9 lengths clear in the colours of David Layani. The daughter of Siyouni was sold by Écurie des Monceaux to Oceanic Bloodstock for €450,000 at Arqana in August 2024.

5f from home at Longchamp, you can see where the runners passed on Saturday. Compare that to the fresh strip up the rail in the straight. The best of the ground is clearly on the inside. Plenty of width in the straight but you can't afford to go wide in the country.

3 weeks out from the QEII Stakes @ascotracecourse.bsky.social Facteur Cheval enjoyed a racecourse gallop at Marseille Borély on Saturday. Jérôme Reynier said the horse struggled to regain his form when going back to work in August after a hard race in PoW Stakes, but pleasing him in the last month.

Very different underfoot conditions at Strasbourg this afternoon compared to York's Ebor meeting, as Birr Castle wins at Listed level by half a length from the 98-rated Pleaseman. The Juddmonte International in which he finished third remains an enormously difficult race to judge.
