Alpinista might be the only mare in Sunday's Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe field but Sir Mark Prescott's star has outstanding claims of winning big.
Rider Luke Morris is having his first ride in the race having steered the brilliant grey daughter of Frankel to five successive Group 1 wins in the last 12 months.
A maximum field of 20 goes to post for the Longchamp showpiece, making the draw an even more important factor than ever. Alpinista has got lucky with stall six, unlike last year's hero Torquator Tasso who has a mountain to climb from stall 18 despite ground conditions turning in his favour.
