'Her form looks good' - Classic runner-up Survie set for key trial before potential Arc and Breeders' Cup tilt
Nicolas Clement is looking forward to some big targets with Prix de Diane runner-up Survie, who has been pleasing him as she builds up to her intended return on Arc Trials day at Longchamp next month.
