Sky Sports has stepped into the breach left by Channel 4 and will broadcast more than three hours of live coverage of the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe from Chantilly next month.

While both Racing UK and At The Races will be covering the Arc, the event will be without terrestrial coverage for the second time in four years.

The programme on Sky Sports 2 will feature all the build-up to the big race at 3.05pm, as well as several of the supporting Group 1s on the card.
