Sir Michael
Stoute says it is "very possible" Ulysses will tackle
next month's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Chantilly.
The four-year-old has really come
into his own this season, winning both the Coral-Eclipse and Juddmonte
International as well as finishing second to Enable in the King George at
Ascot.
The Breeders' Cup Turf at Del Mar on
November 4 was initially nominated as Ulysses' target following his York
success, but Stoute has confirmed he may now stop off in France on October 1 on
the way to his American date.
He told The Punter : "The Arc is
very possible and we're aiming for that at the moment.
"The Breeders' Cup is not until
five weeks after the Arc, so there's plenty of time between both races."
John Gosden aims to have Jack Hobbs
ready for a third shot at the Qipco Champion Stakes at Ascot on October 21.
Limato is likely to
defend his crown in the Prix de la Foret at Chantilly next month.
Henry Candy's five-year-old claimed
his second Group One success in the seven-furlong contest last autumn, having
dominated his rivals in the July Cup at Newmarket earlier in the year.
Talaayeb could return
to the top table for the first time since finishing fourth in the 1000 Guineas
if she is given the go-ahead for the Kingdom of Bahrain Sun Chariot Stakes at
Newmarket on October 7.
The mile Group One prize is one of
two options, alongside the Challenge Stakes on October 13 over a furlong
shorter, under consideration for the daughter of Dansili.
