Arc prep in Prix Foy for St Nic Aidan O'Brien's St Nicholas Abbey is set to have his next start in the Prix Foy at Longchamp on September 11. Winner of the Coronation Cup at Epsom in June, the four-year-old was last seen finishing third in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot behind Nathaniel and Workforce. The Longchamp race is a recognised trial for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, for which St Nicholas Abbey is a best-priced 20/1 chance following the retirement of ante-post favourite Pour Moi. O'Brien's wife Anne-Marie tweeted: "We are looking at the Prix Foy in Longchamp on September 11 for St Nicholas Abbey's next start." Mrs O'Brien also said that Irish 2000 Guineas winner Roderic O'Connor could join So You Think in the Red Mills Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown on Saturday, and that Misty For Me and Together could run in the Matron Stakes on the same card at the Dublin track.
