“It’s a race which came on the cards after what she has done this summer. She’s been really good, and along with Magical Zoe and a few others, it has been really good. We haven’t won a Group One yet so I guess it would be one of our biggest wins, but we’ve got to go and do it now,” said De Bromhead. The world’s top-rated stayer won the marathon contest in remarkable style two years ago and has transformed expectations by coming back in style from a life-threatening illness last season.
Although the weekend international focus is on Paris, there is also top-flight Irish interest in the US on Saturday night where Dermot Weld’s Tarawa lines up for the Grade One $750,000 First Lady Stakes in Keeneland.
