Bay City Roller could be set for an early sighter of ParisLongchamp, with next month’s Prix Foy seen as the ideal spot to line up a Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe bid.
George Scott’s New Bay colt has not been seen since early June when he bolted up to win the Coronation Cup by 10 lengths, with the fast summer ground scuppering intended outings since then.
Now he could be heading to the French capital on Arc Trials day (September 6) with the main event in October his primary target.
Billy Jackson-Stops, racing manager for owners Victorious Racing, said: “George says a couple of bits of work lately have been as good as ever.
“We’re really happy with him. The plan is the Foy, it’ll be ground dependent. We’ll see how they’re looking in France.
“He could go to the Irish Champion Stakes, but he will go to France if the ground is ideal for him and obviously the end goal for him this year is the Arc.”
Meanwhile, expensive breeze-up buy Mrair missed the chance to enhance his profile in the Gimcrack Stakes at York’s Ebor Festival after a late issue saw him taken out of the race.
Jackson-Stops added: “Mrair had a small setback. We haven’t quite got to the bottom of that at the moment so we’ll just take a bit of time and see where he is.”
