Sounds like if the Arc is run on deep ground again, Which it most likely will be, the race race will really cut up. The soft/Heavy ground performers must be the value.

[Benjy23]

Adayar sounds far from certain now. Sounds like preference is for the champion stakes but will be left in Arc and run if it's good ground...

[Benjy23]

Champion Stakes going to be a tap in for baaeed then, who's even going to be against him?

Avoiding Baeed definitely looks a more likely reason than the four week out weather forecast they're claiming

Not sure they'll be many left to face him will there! All those in behind in the betting look to have other priorities. Especially if it is soft/heavy. May be worth a look for an each way play at a big price, that isn't ground dependant, in the hope of a small field. Although there's enough entered!

Changed their minds and going Arc now. All over the place this race!

Sounds like Vadeni won't be going to the Arc, as they don't think he'll stay.

Sound like Kyprios is going for the Cadran. Hard to knock now isn't he but I don't think he wants it too soft. Not ideal for the assumption he would run though.

16s Adayar long gone for the Arc. At least got a good price on that one, providing he shows up!

Sakheer was very impressive

Looked a very fast horse, really sprinted away from them

[Sprinter Sacre]

Excited to see Highbank again tomorrow after his extremely impressive debut.

Invested my cashed out rollover into Sakheer at 14/1 (BF/PP).

Roger Varian: “He has size and scope, he’s very exciting and I think he’ll stay seven furlongs or a mile.”

Aye, they seem keen enough. I've taken some 16s.

Agree with CoD on TT for the repeat if it turns out heavy though. Would rather wait for the day to cover him though.

[BigChaang]

Ran in the arc last year didn't he. And godolphin haven't got much else for it. Assume they think he didn't like the heavy ground last year though? Probably wanted to get a lead for longer as well!

I saw a quote in the R.P , today re Adayar. , Trainer said he had a hard season last year , not been so busy this time round ??.

[ComplyOrDie]

With regards to the Arc, I feel like I'm going to wait until nearer the time to see what the ground is like.

I won't be going near Luxembourg at his price, but if it comes up 'Good' or 'Good-Soft' I'll likely back Alpinista, anything worse than that and I'll be backing Torquator Tasso to follow up last seasons win.

Could they divert adayar from the champion stakes to the arc as baaeed is now going there? I took a risk on him for the champion stakes banking on baaeed going to the arc at 12s before his tune up run and that hasnt materialised, 18s look very big for the arc considering that it doesnt look the strongest fields

CA said Arc or Champion stakes. I read that as "the one Baaeed doesn't go to"
