The winner was the Ballymore Thoroughbred's Miss France, an Irish-bred bay filly trained at Chantilly by André Fabre and ridden by Maxime Guyon.
The 100/1 outsider Manderley took the lead in the early stages and set a steady pace from Majeyda and Miss France with Ihtimal, Tapestry and Euro Charline close behind.
Manderley maintained her advantage until the final quarter mile when she was challenged by Miss France and Ihtimal on her right as Lightning Thunder began to make rapid progress along the stands side rail.
Miss France took the lead inside the final furlong and held off the string late challenge of Lightning Thunder to win by a neck with Ihtimal half a length away in third and Manderley holding on in fourth.
[1] Miss France's win meant that André Fabre joined Michael Stoute and Aidan O'Brien as the third active trainer to have won all five of the British Classic Races.
