French banker of the day - 11th September 2025

Thursday’s French banker of the day is a two-year-old looking to remain unbeaten and staking her claim for the Prix Marcel Boussac.


Green Spirit (Christophe Ferland/Maxime Guyon) Longchamp – R2 – Prix d'Aumale (Gr.2)

- Unbeaten filly

- Showed plenty of determination on previous start

- Owners have an excellent strike rate with youngsters

A home-bred Wertheimer & Frere filly are hard to go against when their talents are all on show.

They're close to €400k in prize money with their youngsters this season and operating near to a 40% strike rate. They also are respectable at this track with 20% of their runners winning at Longchamp.

Green Spirit is possibly the best filly in France at the moment, and plenty of questions were asked of her on previous assignment in the Group 3 Prix Six Perfections.

Racing towards the front-end, she was angled out up the home-straight at Deauville and let fly down the outside to run down Irish raider Balantina by a neck, showing her engine is of some size for a youngster.

The form from that race has seen Balantina well beaten at The Curragh, but there is a winner in the field, as seventh-placed Wetsand went on to win at Goodwood in the UK.

Dangers will come from Francis-Henri Graffard's Narissa, who was a length-and-a-half behind Green Spirit that day, and UK raider Princess Petrol, who was beaten by a neck in the Sweet Solera at Newmarket.

However, this filly has showed plenty in three starts so far, suggesting she can work her way the top level, not just in the latter part of the season, but next season too.
