So it’s that time of year when we can look at form and discuss the merits of those currently at the top of the market.

Let’s play the game fair but still enjoy the summer season left, whilst looking ahead….

Estrange has been retired,

Chris Richardson, managing director for Cheveley Park, said: "While Estrange has not had ideal conditions, with the very dry summer, it's been decided to retire her to the paddocks. Estrange suffered some bone bruising during her last race, which meant she has had to have an easy time since and, although an autumn campaign was being envisaged, time is running out to have her fully fit therefore Mrs Thompson feels, as she has won her Group 1, it is time for her to retire to the paddocks.

Richardson’s comments confirm what some had questioned about her ideal going preference after Maddy’s article.

“I can’t take the odds for a horse who found nothing when asked.”

Which is a slight contradiction to be revealed, but it’s all about the price and 3/1 is short without knowing the draw and Minnie Hauk not really representing the form well.

For those cynics who claim that I mention every horse, I haven’t and I’ve stated who I’m against and was for.

Have you looked at her OR’s and compared them to this and last year? Confused

Her KG winning OR was 120 this year, heading into the Arc after being beaten by Botti’s G last year she was on 122.

Her last run is rated 125, 5lb better than anything this year, but only 3lb above her figure last year and the narrative after the KG was that she’d improved.

The OR’s don’t match that.

She beaten over 7L last year in the Arc, is a 3lb increase on last year going to be enough and migrants have last time taken the edge off of her?
Report brandyontherocks August 28, 2026 5:19 PM BST
If the ORs were perfect, all we would have to do is back the top rated every time.

I find, especially in non handicap National Hunt races, that the market is normally formed around ORs which gives great betting opportunities.

I agree with you about timing her run. Circumstances fell kindly for her in the George and hopefully Keane has learned from this.
I do not blame him at York for going so early to chase down the pacemaker who looked at one stage to have gotten away from them.

She is a tremendously consistent horse. Her run in last seasons Arc can be marked up as she ran in the slop on the outside the whole way. Unlike Daryz and Minnie who ran on the fresh ground on the rail.

The draw as always will be important.

Was runner up in the German Derby ahead of the same owners Salitos.

He’d been 3rd prior in the Italian Derby, ahead of him was Grand Son Of Dark who ran well at big odds recently at Deauville.

Chiefland isn’t entered in the Arc and the German Derby winner Dandanos ran a stinker next time out.

Ah fk it, on Sunday there’s a big race in Baden Baden, where Botti’s Giavellto goes.

Against him is a 3yr old called Bright Light, who has an Arc ambition.

He was catching Presscott’s mare Tiffany last time out with Tornado Alert in behind.

Whether this colt is fully wound up for this I don’t know?

But should the Godolphin colt win Saturday or run well then things or odds of 150/1 might look mad in the year of an open arc.

Out of interest Sadcrooks had him in at 100/1 but had the last time that I looked removed him from their market.

Whilst he was pushed out by other firms here has him the same @66/1

He’s stamina laden, loves soft and goes against another formline on Sunday.

He’s rated 118 or 119

Bright Lights Super Performance: „Now to Baden-Baden, then Arc!“

Just missed the win at Westminster 136. Grand Prix of Berlin Bright Light from Andreas Suborics' Cologne racing team, finished second.

Andreas Suborics after the race: „We are highly satisfied, he is even better on soft ground! He's had a bad race the last two times, he's shown he belongs in this class.“

Now we're supposed to go to Iffezheim: „We're going to the Grand Prix of Baden and then to the Arc! But only if the floor is soft and not too firm“, said the coach about the new star in his stable.

https://galopponline.de/rennen/bright-lights-super-leistung-jetzt-nach-baden-baden-dann-arc/

- - - - - -

He has vital course experience having run at Longchamp earlier in the year when second. The trainer then had said post race that it was too testing that day so a bit surprised at this comment as he was going to be my EW outsider Hail Mary should it come up good ground!
If it’s soft the 7lb allowance could come in handy and he’ll stay the trip.
So whilst all eyes will be on Longchamp’s Arc Trials I’ll have one eye elsewhere as the Botti horse is a good yardstick having ran a very good 4th last year.

Barzelona :

‘It felt good with Daryz’

As the defending champion of the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, Daryz was expected to make a strong impression in the Qatar Prix Foy (Gr. 2), which the champion did with great ease, much to the delight of his jockey: “It felt good; it was a very good preparatory race, even though it was easy for him. The conditions were different at Ascot, which explains his third-place finish. He’ll naturally be my favourite going into the Arc de Triomphe as he put in a near-flawless performance and his preparation for the big day couldn’t be better.”

“Varandir still has room for improvement”

After falling short in the Cygames Grand Prix de Paris (Gr.1), Varandir secured a resounding comeback by dominating the Qatar Prix Niel, a preparatory race for three-year-olds ahead of the Arc de Triomphe: “He’s still very immature and has improved since his last outing. He’s gained strength and should continue to improve.”

“Erdenali pulled off something special”

Asked about the most impressive performance of the gala day, the 2021 Cravache d’Or winner – who has pulled well clear this year with a lead of more than twenty wins – replied without hesitation with the name of the winner of the Qatar Prix de Moulin de Longchamp (Gr. I): “I really liked his performance; you have to admit he did something special.”
Report Delashay September 7, 2026 10:27 AM BST
A major challenge awaits Daryz on 4 October 2026: to defend his title in the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe and thereby achieve the extremely rare Foy–Arc double (only three horses have ever done so: Allez France in 1974, Sagace in 1984 and Waldgeist in 2019).


Francis-Henri Graffard, coach of Daryz (1st)

«It was important for Daryz to show this behavior, this calm, for his return to racing. Already in Deauville, during his public canter on the racetrack, it had gone very well. Today, everything went for the best. The horse was very professional, really serene. And the race went well with Bay City Roller who went in front, and who cleared the way at the top of the climb. Daryz really took his bit at that moment. He accelerated well in the home straight. He is now only 6 kilos below his normal weight: he will therefore be perfect for the day of the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.”

I’ll wait until the draw and ground conditions now, I thought that [b]Pearled Majesty ran a good race in the Niel and I’ll see where they go.
Soumi was very easy on him and the trainer felt that it turned into a sprint, he was keen early on also so there’s more to come from him.
[/b]


Alam and Pearled Majesty: strong runners-up

More than a length behind Varandir, Alam and Pearled Majesty took the runner-up spots. Mauricio Delcher-Sanchez, trainer of the latter, was not dissatisfied with his charge’s performance, but regretted the way the race unfolded: “Nobody kept up with Montreal... Pearled Majesty pulled a bit and the race boiled down to a sprint, which isn’t his forte. However, he produced a fine finish, proving himself competitive. We’ll see how he recovers and then we’ll take our time reviewing the rest of his programme (he is entered in the Arc and the Prix Dollar, ed.).” Alam, for his part, also put in a convincing performance on his return. Having been last for much of the race, he finished strongly, much to the satisfaction of his team, who still have their sights set on the Arc with him. “He’s made a very good return,” commented Mikel Delzangles. “We were beaten by a good horse and we know there isn’t a huge gap in class between the two. I’m very pleased with his finish and his behaviour. If he recovers well, he should be in the starting line-up for the Arc. He copes with all ground conditions, but I wouldn’t want it to be too heavy either.”




Earlier in the year on this tread I’d said that with Pink Pantera beating the colts before the Diane that the form pointed the fillies to being better.
The Niel was slower than the Vermille and had another close finish, that early assertion I made seems right given the big run from Pink Pantera again yesterday.


I’d backed Behranya on the basis of that and had added Bay City, he’ll need much slower ground next time but I wasn’t disappointed with his run, the Tattersalls was franked by Saddad in Baden Baden yesterday and Bright Light ran very well.


The ground was given as good and he was held up in last, it looked to me a prep for the Arc and should it be very wet he’ll be an EW and @ 100/1 I’ll be happy with that as he’s proven against older horses whereas those from the Niel aren’t.

Race comments from Baden Baden yesterday:

Held up in rear, headway over 2f out, kept on and went third final strides

No idea if the Arc is still the plan but I wanna horse that’s going to get the trip if the ground is soft.

I've got AP bets on Daryz 10s (after it won the Prix Ganay so well) and Kalpana 20s ew, and yesterday added Sunly and Varandir at 40s ew. Sunly looks like a horse that can run huge if it breaks and settles well and doesn't get bumped about in running.

I recall that you’d snapped up the 20’s for Kaplana, Graffard has said that Sunly can go to the Arc or the Roylleau which I think seems harsh that she’s not a definite for the Arc.

Varandir won and earned his ticket and given her mighty run yesterday I’m surprised that she hasn’t automatically won her place in the race.

The colt that I mentioned above Bright Light finished ahead of Giavelloto yesterday, she’s 7 or 8/1 he’s as big as 150/1 and we know Botti’s horse was a very close 4th in last years race (a head behind Sosie) and had beaten Kaplana twice.

Interestingly, this was the slowest of the three “preps” for the main event on the first Sunday in October, with Bay City Roller over seven seconds slower than Friendly Soul to five out. Unable to shift up a gear on this quick ground and repeat his Epsom dynamics, he was drawn into Daryz's web and the winner was able to rattle off a closing three-furlong sectional of 32.57 with ease to brush him aside.

I’m wary of what Daryz will find when truly pushed like he was in the POW, that was a canter round yesterday, at the nice odds you have you have a good bet but I’m not going in at the current odds especially when they are thinking of running the 3 year old.
Do they wonder the same?

Have I missed any recent news about Minnie Hauk?

She's a big price for the Arc at 25/1+ and despite hating the thought of backing that 'impossible to predict' stable, I can't resist
having another blast of such a whopping price before the weekend, assuming all is good.

I'm happy to give her another chance and draw a line through a strange tactical race at York which didn't suit the class horses
of the race - even the excellent Kalpana only just scraped home from a much inferior filly!

I hate those races when the pacemakers are miles clear and it turns into a cat & mouse affair with the big guns waiting for each
other to make a move - they're often unsatisfactory affairs...like last year's Juddmonte where the rag of the field Birr Castle
was 25 lengths clear in the straight and he actually held on for third place, still beating a trio of multiple Group winners (even
at G1) who were a stone superior...meaning an obvious conclusion that the jockeys fcúkéd up!

I got 28 for Minnie Hauk after York and I was surprised she didn't head for the Vermeilles as an Arc prep - realistically, there's
only the Irish Champion left for her as a trial but I'm concerned she's available at 25/1 for that which says a lot to me - either
she's not going or there's a minor niggle...as surely even Coolmore wouldn't use her as yet another G1 pacemaker!

It would hardly be ideal prep being only a fortnight before the big day thouogh there's also the Prix Du Prince D'Orange remaining
as a subs' bench Arc trial after this coming weekend.

That race too is over 10f and Aidan's seemed to have campaigned her as a 10f performer this year, which I suspect may be for several
reasons...and may include avoiding the 3yo colts over 12f - I really do believe he's wrong as she's not got the instant acceleration
of a much more versatile Daryz over 10f and she's always struck me as a 12f filly...fully evidence by that fantastic second in last
year's Arc which is a stand-out career best, and she was only just beaten!

She has a couple of pounds to find on that form with the favourite and I think she's every bit as good as last year but she hasn't
been allowed a proper opportunity to show that she's more effective over 12f on soft ground besides that disappointment in the Yorkshire
Oaks, so I find that very easy to overlook.

I don't keep up with the daily rumour mill nowadays as I did do for decades so any snippets of informative links would be appreciatedHappy
