Japanese trainers are planning a three-pronged assault on this year's G1 Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomhe at ParisLongchamp in October. Roger Barows (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) and Fierement (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), who were already confirmed to be on the Arc trail will be joined by Kiseke (Jpn) (Rulership {Jpn}). The 5-year-old entire Kiseki is a stable-mate of G1 Japanese Derby winner Roger Barows and is also a Group 1 winner having landed the G1 Kikuka Sho (Japanese St Leger) in 2017. On his most recent start Kiseki finished second in the G1 Takarazuka Kinen at Hashin last weekend and was runner up to the brilliant Almond Eye (Jpn) (Lord Kanaloa {Jpn}) in the G1 Japan Cup last November.
