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.

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.
