O'Brien confident for Soldier regardless of Triomphe result

Aidan O’Brien believes Soldier Of Fortune’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe prospects will not be scuppered if he suffers defeat in Sunday’s trial at Longchamp.

The Irish Derby winner has not been seen since his nine-length triumph on July 1 and O’Brien is sure he will benefit from the leg-stretch in the Prix Niel.
