2023 Arc day tips: Sunday's best bets for Longchamp from Racing Post experts
Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe day at Longchamp features a feast of six Group 1 races – but who do our top tipsters fancy most?
Westover
By Graeme Rodway
Race: 3.05 Longchamp (Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe)
Odds: 13-2
Westover appeared to have the King George at his mercy when going to the front a furlong out and he was backed at 1.68 in running before being run down by Hukum, but he can get revenge here.
He is two years younger than the six-year-old Hukum and when you factor in a wide draw in stall 14 for Hukum, it is not difficult to make the case for Westover (drawn one). He also looks to be improving at the right time.
Hukum
By Liam Headd
Race: 3.05 Longchamp (Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe)
Odds: 6-1
This has been the long-term plan for the Owen Burrows-trained six-year-old and he's ground versatile.
His draw in stall 14 is a slight issue, but Arc winners have come from there before and he's in the form of his life after his King George success.
Jackie Oh
By Steffan Edwards
Race: 3.50 Longchamp (Prix de l'Opera Longines)
Odds: 15-2
Fast-finishing second after meeting trouble in running in the Blandford Stakes last time and the Aidan O'Brien-trained filly is ready to take another step up.
White Lavender
By Kevin Morley
Race: 4.25 Longchamp (Prix de l'Abbaye de Longchamp Longines)
Odds: 12-1
Best on the trends and outran her odds when narrowly denied last year. Her price will not be quite as big this time, but she still looks overpriced from a handy low draw.
Equality fares well on the criteria and he is next best, ahead of the Clive Cox-trained Get Ahead and Kerdos, who also have single-figure stalls. Highfield Princess holds obvious form claims, but she has lost her last two and stall 14 isn't ideal.
