Backing all 10 runners who have been out since their win at SP next time out would have returned an LSP of +1.35.

Over the last 10 renewals, it was Westover, trained by Ralph Beckett and ridden by Rob Hornby, who set the fastest winning time in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud. That runner won the race in a time of 2:25.46 in 2023. At the other end of the scale, it was the combination of trainer William Haggas and jockey Tom Marquand with Dubai Honour who set the slowest winning time; the race-winning time was 2:30.30 in the 2024 renewal.

What the expert says...
Three of the last four winners (2021-24), including the last two, went on to run in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes next time out, the best of those was Westover finishing runner-up in 2023.
