8:50- Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere (Group 1) (2yo Colts & Fillies) 1m

Pretty evenly matched group, but nod goes to #5- Helter Skelter (10-1) at the price, two wins in four tries including at a mile over soft last time. #6- Armory may be the best 2yo colt in the UK not named Pinatubo, obvious form credentials, won on yielding ground at the Curragh. #7- Ecrivain (4-1) is 2-for-2, both at a mile over soft.

$1- EXBX 5,6,7

Very impressive run from the Flaxman filly. I thought this might be the same one that we watched win equal impressively @ Royal Ascot. Evidently not.

Get the money 10f!

#1- Ligne D'or (20-1) handles all ground and her last was her best yet, big overlay here. #2- With You (5-1) was fourth in this race last year, second to Coronet over heavy ground at Deauville in her prep. #7- Mehdaayih (2-1) has two big wins over soft going, progressing nicely toward today's test. #11- Fleeting (15-1) has kept top company all year, handles soft ground, should give a good account of herself today,

I'm all in on #4- Waldpfad (8-1). Sturdy 5yo GER-bred shipped to GB twice this summer, taking a GIII and finishing third last time in GI Sprint Cup, both of those efforts over soft ground. Stretches out today, has won at 7F and a mile previously.
