Criquette Head-Maarek insists that stall 15 will be “no problem” for Treve as the unbeaten filly bids to beat the statistics in tomorrow’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (3.15) at Longchamp.

Orfevre sauntered to back-to-back victories in the Qatar Prix Foy with an impressive display in the Longchamp Group Two yesterday.

Gentildonna survived a stewards’ inquiry to see off Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe runner-up Orfevre and win the Japan Cup at Tokyo racecourse yesterday.

Christophe Soumillon left Longchamp yesterday with the belief Orfevre had the potential to provide him with a third Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe after the Japanese Triple Crown star made a successful European debut.

Orfevre becomes the latest Japanese star to embark on the route towards the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe with an outing in one of the trials at Longchamp tomorrow.
