AIDAN O'BRIEN confirmed to the Racing Post on Wednesday that all is well with Fame And Glory, and that his no-show for Sunday's Prix Foy at Longchamp was simply a result of a "change of plan".
Having missed the Tattersalls Millions Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown last weekend, this weekend's Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe trial represented another warm-up opportunity for the big race on October 3.
O'Brien said: "There has been a slight change of plan for Fame And Glory. We have decided he will go straight for the Arc and the horse is well."

However, Fame And Glory was not amongthe forfeits for the Foy, prompting Coral, Blue Square and 888sport to make Behkabad favourite forthe Arc.
Nearly all firms eased Fame And Glory, but Ladbrokes kept him at 3-1 and Behkabad at 6-1.

Ladcrooks still have the horse in at 3/1 and are longest price about Behkabad, Planteur, Workforce, Sariska and Byword. If anyone is worth watching as far as Ballydoyle is concerned, it is them.Interestingly, they are not pricing up Cape Blanco.......or St Nicholas Abbey.
