Leading Light given Arc go-ahead

Trainer Aidan O’Brien has confirmed Ladbrokes St Leger hero Leading Light will be supplemented for Sunday’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp.

The Montjeu colt has displayed admirable versatility so far this year, winning twice over a mile and a quarter before stepping up to two miles to take the Queen’s Vase at Royal Ascot.

He came back to a mile and three-quarters to claim Classic glory at Doncaster earlier this month and will now pit his wits against the world’s top mile-and-a-half performers in France.
