Whistlejacket is the even-money favourite with Paddy Power for the Middle Park stakes at Newmarket on Saturday, has won three of his six starts and showed his durability when contesting the Prix Morny at Deauville eight days after finishing runner-up behind Babouche in the Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh. He shrugged off the quick turnaround by coming home three-quarters of a length in front of Rashabar to land his first Group 1.

Juddmonte are yet to commit to supplementing Bluestocking for the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, with a decision to be made on their star filly's participation following a key weekend workout and consideration of the forecast.The Ralph Beckett-trained four-year-old continued her terrific season with a second Group 1 triumph in the Prix Vermeille over the Arc's course and distance at Longchamp this month. 

She is a general 10-1 for Europe's Flat showpiece, which takes place a week on Sunday, behind 4-1 favourite Sosie. However, her connections would have to stump up €120,000 on October 2 to add her to the Arc field. While the powerful operation are eager for her to have a go, they are also waiting to see if there will be sufficient ease in the surface at Longchamp. Juddmonte's racing manager Barry Mahon said: "She'll do a bit of work on Saturday and then if Ralph is happy with her wellbeing and the ground looks like it's coming up soft then there's every possibility she'll be supplemented.
