Sundays Grade 1 action comes from Auteuil. This is a fantastic card, with a total 9 pattern races on the card. The Prix Maurice Gillois...

It wasn't in it's usual spot in the calendar and the warm skies of May were replaced by the chill of October,

"If there is a star in this field, then it is L’autonomie. At 5 years old, she has the hurdling world at her feet"

Having destroyed a quality field on Sunday at Auteuil, I think it is fair to say that Le Berry is the best 4-year-old National Hunt horse.

We had the chance to discuss having horses in both the UK and France, the differences between the 2 and his hopes for his horses

Sottsass won the arc, but on Sunday, there was lots of other top class racing and here are a few who caught my eye.

Well done to Sottsass and his connections for winning the Arc....but there was a lot of other top quality action this weekend.

In this final part, we look at the remaining runners and assess their chances of causing an upset.

In this part, I look at some of the horses who aren't as well known, but who may well cause a surprise on the day.

I know its Arc week....but there is a decent Listed Chase today that's worth a look

In this 3rd part, we take a look at the runners for Jean-Claude Rouget and what they might achieve.

In the second part we look at those who are being talked about as each-way chances and whether they represent any value.

In this short series I will be looking at the potential runners for next Sundays Arc and their chances of landing the biggest prize there is

"The best jumpers in France are making their final preparations for the big day. This card could be very informative"

Delighted to say I had the opportunity to talk to trainer Sophie Leech. We discuss her decision to move horses to train and run in France...

Having spent most of this year trying to find an angle into the Arc market, the simple fact is that the market probably has it right.

"In truth, if Stradivarius connections truly hope to win the Arc in October, he should be winning this"

My thoughts on a decent card over jumps at Auteuil, some competitive stuff, but I do have a couple of strong fancies.

"In reality, this was a multiple Group 1 winning horse, winning another Group 1, at a track where he has course form"

This is the best mile race we have seen for some considerable time. 6 runners, all group 1 winners over the mile at Paris Longchamp.
