Mike - Yeah, as you say, Treve's prep was quite fast. The TimeForm gang was impressed. I'm guessing she could go back two points and still win.
Gosden is supplementing (100K Euro) Derby-winner Golden Horn to the race, who needs firmer turf and it looks like he will get it. Was reading that Longchamp is currently "soft-to-good" but the forecast is dry and they are guessing it will be "good" by Sunday.
TP - I was lucky enough to be in France about a year ago. Here's what I found. You won't find anything racing related on the newsstands except Paris-Turf. If you can read French you may get some useful information there, but nothing along the lines of figures or pps that we have here. A lot of the runners will be from England and Ireland so you can read about the races at the Racing Post site as well as Mike's suggestion on the overseas TF site. I've never used the stuff, but I saw on Twitter that TimeForm will have race cards available online for both Saturday and Sunday. So, that's probably your best bet for getting a full set of figures.
And I would certainly recommend going both Saturday and Sunday. Lots of full fields and great stakes both days. Enjoy!
