GILDED PRIZE (GB) (Frankel {GB}) is one of seven last-time-out winners in this eight-runner line-up in what could prove an early pointer to the Prix de Diane. Juddmonte's daughter of the Beverly D. and Flower Bowl Stakes-placed Grand Jete (Dansili), who was successful over course and distance on her sole start in November, represents the Francis Graffard stable along with the colt Just The Two of Us (Ire) (Sea the Moon {Ger}), Argella Racing's fellow course-and-distance winner with equal promise. Also here is Blanche De Medicis (Ire) (Waldgeist {Ger}), Baron Edouard De Rothschild's Andre Fabre-trained half-sister to Alcantor (New Bay), and the Wertheimers' Frankish (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), a Yann Barberot-trained son of the 1,000 Guineas heroine Miss France (Dansili) who scored on debut at Cagnes-sur-Mer in January.
