Representatives of Lordship Stud were extended to 2 million guineas for the 4-year-old filly Ville de Grace (GB) (Le Havre {Ire}) as Tuesday's Sceptre Session continued to toss up major results. Bred and raced by Hunscote Stud and Chris Humber, Ville de Grace was being offered by Norris Bloodstock to dissolve that partnership. Hunscote went to 800,000gns for the filly's dam Archangel Gabriel (Arch) to top Monday's Sceptre Session. Trained for the partnership by Sir Michael Stoute, Ville de Grace–who was retained after failing to meet her reserve on a bid of €300,000 at the 2019 Arqana August Sale–closed her 3–year-old campaign with a half-length success in last year's G3 Pride S. at the nearby racetrack and returned to miss by a nose behind future Group 1 winner Dreamloper (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) in the G2 Dahlia S. Ville de Grace was beaten less than a length into third in her two most recent appearances in the Listed John Musker Fillies' S. at Yarmouth in September and as the favourite in defence of her title in the Oct. 7 Pride S.
