Almanzor and Brametot run on Tuesday – who’s better equipped to win the Arc?
David Griffiths, trainer As good as Brametot looks, I’d think that Almanzor would be the more likely winner of the Arc at this stage. He proved that he was a really top-class horse last year.
Tom Hogan, trainer If Almanzor goes on and displays the sort of ability he showed last year when winning the Irish Champion Stakes and the Champion Stakes at Ascot, I’d be with him. However, the top three-year-old fillies will have to be seriously considered with their weight allowance.
David Menuisier, trainer Almanzor. I think he’s a really good horse and his form last year was solid. He’ll stay the trip and I’m looking forward to seeing him in the Arc. He’s trained by a top trainer who knows what he’s doing. He might need this run, but I’m sure he’ll be spot on for October.
