Andre Fabre has a five-strong team in an attempt to land the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe for the eighth time at Longchamp on Sunday.

Prix du Jockey Club winner Intello (stall nine) is his best hope, according to the bookmakers, with Flintshire (seven), Ocovango (13), Godolphin's Penglai Pavilion (10) and Pirika (three) completing his nap hand of runners.

"I think the ground will be good to soft come Sunday, which Flintshire should be able to handle. I've been very happy with him and as for the draw, I always think that is only a problem if there is no pace. I'm hoping for a good pace, then there will be no problems," said Fabre.

Kazeem might need more - Charlton

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Fri

Quote:

Al Kazeem is flying the flag for Britain in Sunday's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe - but Roger Charlton's stable star was dealt a cruel blow at the draw when he was handed stall 18.

Statistics show a single-figure draw increases a runner's chances in Europe's premier middle-distance Flat race, although Orfevre was a close second from the same berth 12 months ago.

Earlier in the season Al Kazeem was the ante-post favourite for the race after Group One wins in the Tattersalls Gold Cup, the Prince Of Wales's Stakes and the Eclipse, but subsequent defeats at York and Leopardstown mean he is available at an each-way price.

O'Brien duo could be leading lights.

Aidan O'Brien goes into Sunday's Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp with high hopes of his two Classic winners, Derby hero Ruler Of The World and St Leger victor Leading Light.

As both are three-year-olds who carry just 8st 11lb on the weight-for-age scale, it leaves stable jockey Joseph O'Brien without a ride as his minimum weight is around the 9st mark.

O'Brien has called on French veteran Gerald Mosse for Leading Light, while Ryan Moore maintains his partnership with Ruler Of The World.

France's most popular horse brought Arc weekend at Longchamp to life as Cirrus Des Aigles proved he was anything but washed up with a commanding third victory in the Qatar Prix Dollar.

Now seven, and prevented from running in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe itself due to being a gelding, Corine Barande-Barbe's stable star has been a fixture at the Parisian courses for what has seemed an eternity.

Europe conquers Gowran again.

Sizing Europe won the PWC Champion Chase at Gowran Park for the third successive year - but the popular 11-year-old was made to work harder than his starting price of 4-5 suggested.

Andrew Lynch was content to sit in second on Henry de Bromhead's star as Rubi Light set a strong gallop in front, and Barry Geraghty kicked on with half a mile to run, where last year's Arkle runner-up Baily Green began to move comfortably into contention.

Trainer Freddie Head is confident brilliant filly Moonlight Cloud is in the form of her life as she aims to complete a Group One hat-trick in the Qatar Prix de la Foret at Longchamp today.

After making a successful return to action in a Group Three over course and distance in early July, the five-year-old twice lit up Deauville in August when she landed the Prix Maurice de Gheest over six and a half furlongs and the Prix Jacques le Marois over a mile on successive Sundays.

Terrific Treve an Arc angel

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sun

Quote:

Treve demolished the opposition to run out a spectacular winner of the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp for the Criquette Head-Maarek stable.

Ridden by Thierry Jarnet in the absence of the injured Frankie Dettori, the filly smoothly took the lead coming down the straight and soon put daylight between herself and the opposition.

Try as he might, the Japanese-trained favourite Orfevre could not get to her and just as last year, he had to settle for second place, with Intello finishing third and another Japanese challenger, Kizuna, in fourth.
