Another interesting historical stat is no French bred has won the race since 1909!

Clan Royal has come closest in recent years, 2nd two years ago but out run by old boy Amberleigh House and going well when carried out last year. It may well win but until we get a run of 6 or 7 French bred winners in the next 15 years then its a stat I always keep on my side, after all its not been wrong for best part of 100 years!!
