UK raiders have enjoyed plenty of success in this and Mo Celita won a Listed race at Deauville for Adrian Nicholls last month. LADY IN FRANCE finished third behind Air De Valse in last year’s renewal but Karl Burke’s filly later reversed running when fourth in the Prix de l’Abbaye and looks to have every chance if running up to the same level today. Wild Majesty has improved since beaten by Stormbringer earlier in the year but both the latter and Pradaro found Ocean too good over 6f at Deauville last time.
