Cirrus Des Aigles - If only he wasn't a gelding

In what looks an open year, especially after Pour Moi's retirement, I honestly thought I'd seen this year's Arc winner this afternoon as he powered clear to win by 10l only to discover later that he's a gelding and therefore ineligible. Matt Chapman clearly wasn't aware either as he talked up his chances and even quoted 25-1(Lord knows where he got that from).

Many may point to the fact that he's well exposed having ran in 6 Group 1's without a win  but the visual impression is that he's improving and on his run in June against last year's 3rd Sarafina wouldn't have had much to find if he has.
