Friday, 13 July 2012: The weather hasn't been that brilliant in Northern France either and the going is rated as soft to very soft.
The GP has a field of 9 for the 2400m trip. Godolphin France's Saint Baudelino has been either first or second in his last 5 runs, and is around 3.0. His main challengers are the Irish raiders Imperial Monarch for the O'Briens on 3.25 and Main Sequence on 3.50.
Earlier there is the G2 Prix Maurice de Nieuil over 2800m for the stayers. Vadamar is on 3.0, Ivory Land 4.25 and Brigantin 4.50 the market leaders from the field of 8.
