Ger Lyons' progressive gelding Brendan Brackan has earned himself trip to Longchamp over Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe weekend.

Owned and bred by Anamoine Limited, he failed in an ambitious attempt to win at both Galway and Goodwood within the festival week, but was back after a break to take the Group Three Solonoway Stakes at the Curragh.

Lyons tweeted: "Brendan Brackan will be supplemented for the Prix Daniel Wildenstein Gr2 in France on Saturday. Colin Keane will keep the ride on him."
