Francophone
Twice a Listed winner, notably when beating Hey Boo over this trip at Newmarket on her final start last season; appears well held by Jancis based on a Group 2 clash at the same venue three weeks ago.

From the connections
“Francophone has always been a talented filly but I was all for dropping her back in class after her run in the Pipalong at Pontefract last time but I'm glad I didn't - Charlie Johnston, trainer.”
“It was a bit of a gamble running Francophone back so quickly but she had come out of it in such good form that we took the chance and I'm delighted it's come off. It looked a good opportunity to get some bold black type and it's been a good week for the family as her aunt Madame Ambassador won a Listed race at Ayr on Wednesday. Whether she now steps up to a mile and a half for the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot we'll have to see - Charlie Johnston, trainer.”
“Francophone was impressive first time out, should have won second time at Goodwood - or got it in the stewards' room - and was a bit inexperienced at Doncaster. She's a huge filly and we put her away for the year. Hopefully that's going to pay off this year because I'd like to think she'll be back in black type company at some point soon - Charlie Johnston, trainer.”
