Youmzain back on Arc trail

Youmzain has arrived in France in peak condition as he bids to secure top honours in the Qatar Prix De l’Arc De Triomphe at the fourth attempt.

The seven-year-old has finished second in the last three renewals of Europe’s premier middle-distance event, going down by a head to Dylan Thomas in 2007 before chasing home two superstars in Zarkava and Sea The Stars.
