Cirrus Des Aigles team mull Prince of Wales's stakes option

Last year's Champion Stakes winner Cirrus Des Aigles is likely to head to Royal Ascot for the Prince of Wales's stakes next Wednesday.

The winner of nearly £4million pounds has the Grand Prix de Saint Cloud as his other option, a race in which he was only beaten by Sarafina last year. But with the prospect of easy conditions in Berkshire his trainer is leaning towards returning to the scene of last October's triumph.

Talking about the options for her stable star today, Corine Barande-Barbe said:

"I've confirmed his entry this morning. We worked him today and he went very well.

"I'll decide over the next few days where he runs. It will probably be the weekend before a confirmed decision is made.

"He has two options, the Prince of Wales's Stakes or the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud.

"For him the very wet weather in England is very good, he doesn't mind the mud at all, so that is not a worry.

"In fact, if we look at the forecast and it says it will be sunny in France on Monday, we may prefer Ascot."

The gelding, already a winner at Meydan and Longchamp this year, is currently second favourite on Betfair behind So You Think for next Wednesday's Group One contest.
