    The plan is Alaydar Niel - Arc
    Hurricane Lane Leger - Arc (Arc only if he runs well at Donny)

    I think that's a terrible plan for the latter. He's too good for the Leger and the Juddmonte makes more sense as a stepping stone to Paris. He's a C&D winner after all.

    HL's a Leger horse through-and-through , imo - and trainer knows what he's doing - and why.

    He does, but he's no chance in the Arc if he goes Donny.

    NO horse has done the double yet.
    Reason enough not to try, or maybe to try if you have the powder.

    So Wonderful Tonight is retired after an injury this morning and Adayar is also on the sidelines, misses the Niel, but should be back for the big race. That's a negative as is AOB's record in the race with 3yos so there must be some value somewhere and Raabihah is worth a tickle at 25s.

    good runs from Tarnawa and Hurricane Lane today, really is going to be a belter of a race, i've been waiting to back Adayar but the setback gives me hesitation. his form is rock solid though.

    Tarnawa ran a very good race given trip/pace.
    Hurricane Lane looked a steering job and was. Leger/Arc though, emmm.
    Snowfall clearly not run her race today. That said, would want soft ground me thinks.

    Adayar just observing!

    Interesting that Frankie blames Snowfall's poor show in Yesterday's Vermeille on the steady pace set by Hollie Doyle (today's RP) amd, here's me, thinking that the person in the plate was responsible for how quickly a horse went.
    Much more likely; he knew the filly wasn't fully primed for the race, and rode her accordingly.
    Oh, what a tangled web Coolmore weave.........

    Agreed, but the point is; he was being a tad disingenous about Snowfall's effort, and it may be mistaken to write her off her Arc chances on the strength of it.

    Yes, could be that the run has put her spot on for the Arc.
