Mick Channon believes Youmzain is overpriced at 33-1 for the Arc, and today issued an upbeat report on his stable star
He told his website, mickchannon.tv: "He's in great form and it's just a question of keeping a lid on him until Paris. He's so well in himself that we've even slung him in the Bosphorus Cup at the start of September to keep our options open because I don't want him too fresh. That's probably a mischievous entry though because it's all about the Arc in October, but he's never been to Turkey!
"As the sad loss of Harbinger from the line up tells you, you need to be there on the day and we've been lucky enough to be able to deliver our lad at his peak for three years running now. I couldn't be happier with him."
Hr added: "Scanning through the markets for the Arc this morning, it seems astonishing that Youmzain can be backed at 33/1. That has to be be worth a tenner of anyones' money.He has appeared at Longchamp on four occasions and he's finished 2nd on four occasions - every time to the Arc winner."
