Sky Bet Arc offers

Sky Bet will be paying 4 places instead of three on both showcase races on Sunday the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and Prix de l'Abbaye.

The seven race Group 1 card at Longchamp on Sunday features the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and Prix de l'Abbaye and Sky Bet will be paying 4 places instead of three on both showcase races. The extra place double header goes live from 6pm on Saturday night with Prix Niel winner Behkabad heading the home defence for Arc glory as 7/2 favourite with Sky Bet. Planteur, who has twice been beaten by the favourite over course and distance this season, is 5/1 next best to turnaround a head defeat from their last encounter on trials day at Longchamp. Fame And Glory, who could finish only sixth behind Sea The Stars in last year's running, heads a strong Aidan O'Brien challenge and shares next best billing at 5/1 with Sky Bet. The brilliant Epsom Derby winner Workforce heads the British raiders as a 6/1 shot, while veteran Youmzain is 12/1 to go one better after finishing runner-up in the last three renewals for Mick Channon. Matt Doyle of Sky Bet said: "Punters betting each-way at industry odds will have an edge over us at Longchamp on Sunday in what looks a wide open renewal of the Arc and a fiercely competitive Abbaye."
