Vive la France in Guineas Miss France bounced back to her best to provide master trainer Andre Fabre with his first Qipco 1000 Guineas success in a thrilling finish at Newmarket. A disappointing sixth on her return to action in the Prix Imprudence at Maisons-Laffitte, Miss France was even removed from the betting for the Classic by some bookmakers, but confidence returned in recent days. Maxime Guyon sat just off the pace before kicking on before the dip and she just held off the Olly Stevens-trained Lightning Thunder - the filly she beat in the Oh So Sharp Stakes at Newmarket in September - by a neck. Saeed bin Suroor's Ihtimal was third.
