Baaeed v Luxembourg anyone? The ultimate Arc showdown edges a step closer

At the start of the season, before a ball was kicked, the match we were most looking forward to was Baaeed v Luxembourg. Well, I don't know about you, but I was anyway.

We didn't know when it would happen, or even if it ever would, and when Luxembourg missed the Derby with a muscular problem and needed six weeks of box rest, it looked like the showdown was further away than ever. Now, we might be just three weeks away from it.

We just need William Haggas to confirm Baaeed's attendance at Longchamp on the second day of October and then we can book our seats because Luxembourg will definitely be there. Paris is the final stop on an autumn cruise that is going smoother than Aidan O'Brien could have hoped for.
