Banimpire set for Longchamp raid Banimpire looks set to continue her hugely profitable campaign in the Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp next weekend. The three-year-old made her seasonal reappearance back in March, but has held her form magnificently well. Victory in the Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot has been the feature of six successes this season and she was also beaten just a short head in the Irish Oaks. She missed the Blandford Stakes at the Curragh earlier this month on account of the ground, but could be back in action on Arc day at Longchamp. "She's fine and we'll probably go to Longchamp with her next," said Bolger. "We have options for her there, but it will more than likely be the Prix de l'Opera. "She could go to Ascot after that, but we'll see."
