In an informative afternoon as far as the Prix De L'Arc De Triomphe was concerned, Galikova also emerged as a serious contender for the race with a comfortable victory in the Prix Vermeille and was clipped into 8/1 from 10/1 by MansionBet .

"Sarafina is a worthy favourite for the Arc in an open looking year. She was desperately unlucky in the race last year and appears primed to make amends in this year's renewal", said Simon Clare, Coral Spokesman.

"Reliable Man and Galikova also deserve their prominent positions in the Arc betting after convincing victories at Longchamp this afternoon", added Clare.
