Doyle partners Nashwa and The Platinum Queen on Arc undercard

-

Sky Sports Racing ambassador Hollie Doyle takes two big rides on French Oaks winner Nashwa and The Platinum Queen on an excellent Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe undercard on Sunday.

John and Thady Gosden’s daughter of Frankel was all heart when scooping Classic honours at Chantilly in June and then displayed her quality when following up in the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood.

She now bids for a third-straight Group One prize. Aidan O’Brien’s Oaks heroine Tuesday is poised to provide stiff competition dropping back to 10 furlongs, while La Parisienne finished a place ahead of the Ballydoyle raider in the Prix Vermeille last time out and runs in the Prix de l’Opera having missed out on a run in the Arc itself.

Others to note in the line-up include Blandford Stakes one-two Above The Curve and Insinuendo, the supplemented Trevaunance and William Haggas’ My Astra.

Kinross bids for a three-timer and to also confirm form over York runner-up Sandrine and Doncaster second New Energy when he runs in the Qatar Prix de la Foret.
