From the Sporting Life:
DYLAN AMONG JAPAN CUP ACCEPTORS
Dylan Thomas features among the acceptors for the Japan Cup later this month.
The Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner will be on the Coolmore Stud roster for next year and while his participation is by no means certain, what was to be his final outing in the Breeders' Cup Turf was effectively wrecked by soft ground at Monmouth Park.
Three other European horses have accepted invitations, with Halicarnassus and Papal Bull - first and third in the Arc Trial at Newbury last time - also possibilities, along with German ace Saddex.
Brian Meehan's Red Rocks, winner of the Breeders' Cup Turf in 2006, was pulled out of Tokyo's November 25 showpiece.
Meanwhile, Clive Brittain's Kandidate and the Gerard Butler-trained Jack Sullivan have accepted invitations for the Japan Cup Dirt the day before.
