2011 QIPCO Champion Stakes (Eng-I) winner Cirrus des Aigles will prep for a repeat victory in that race when he heads to post against eight others in the Qatar Prix Dollar Stakes (Fr-II) on Saturday at Longchamp.
Trained by Corine Barande Barbe, the six-year-old gelded son of Even Top has been in strong form this year, defeating strong fields in the Longines Dubai Sheema Classic (UAE-I) and Prix Ganay Stakes (Fr-I). However, he has not raced since finishing a close second to Golden Lilac in the Prix d'Ispahan on May 27th, and he may need to get this race under his belt before returning to peak form.
His primary opposition in the 1 3/16th miles race is expected to come from Hunter's Light, who is coming off of a five-length triumph in group II stakes in Turkey. Chinchon, winner of the group I Singapore Airlines International Cup last time out, could also contend if he fires his best shot.
