Longchamp's Loss Could Be Ascot's Gain as Nathaniel & Reliable Man Face Arc Ground Concerns 27/09/11

With the going set to determine the participation of several runners in this Sunday's Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, Coral has trimmed Snow Fairy to 16-1 (from 20-1) for the Longchamp showpiece, while Nathaniel and Reliable Man are 7-2 and 9-2 respectively for the Qipco Champion Stakes, a race that both could run in if they miss the Arc.

"Snow Fairy backers will be pleased to see the sunshine that's forecast for Paris this week, but by contrast, both Nathaniel and Reliable Man could miss the Arc if the ground is deemed too quick. However, the pair are entered in the Qipco Champion Stakes, and Longchamp's loss could be Ascot's gain as they would be vying for favouritism for the Champion in our book," said Coral's David Stevens.

Switching codes, Paul Nicholls is 4-7 favourite with Coral to retain his National Hunt Trainers' title, ahead of Nicky Henderson at 7-4.

"This season's National Hunt trainers' championship promises to be the closest for many years, with strenght in depth at both Ditcheat and Seven Barrows. However, with the likes of Big Buck's and Master Minded still spearheading the Nicholls' challenge, we just favour the reigning champion to hold onto his crown, although Nicky Henderson, led by stable star Long Run, is set to push him all the way," said Coral's David Stevens.
