Treve looked near-unbeatable for her Arc hat-trick in her recent trial demolition of Arabian Queen. That was on very soft ground, which we all know she loves, but will she get it at Longchamp next Sunday?
Beautiful warm, sunny weather is forecast for Paris for the coming week and there’s a high chance right now it could be quicker than good. Despite not being entered yet, Golden Horn‘s connections must be licking their lips and supplementing looks likely. The Derby, Eclipse and Irish Champion Stakes winner would relish such conditions and his 13/2 price is sure to come right in should the forecast prove accurate.
Another who will relish the quicker ground is Dermot Weld’s Free Eagle, who looked so unlucky when placing behind Golden Horn at Leoparstown. 28/1 is a massive price for such a classy, lightly-raced four-year-old and his is another that might get snapped up.
We’re keen to side with both early, with the best prices available on Betfair.
