Andre Fabre's Ultra kept his unbeaten record intact with a narrow victory in the Qatar Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp.
The winner of his previous two starts at Clairefontaine and in Paris, the Godolphin-owned juvenile was always close to the speed, tracking Simon Crisford's leader First Selection.
The latter stuck to his task admirably, but 6-1 shot Ultra and Mickael Barzalona hit the front in the straight and had just enough in the tank to hold John Gosden's fast-finishing Cymric at bay.
Galileo Gold was third for Hugo Palmer, just ahead of the Aidan O'Brien-trained 2-1 favourite Johannes Vermeer.
