Hurricane Lane stormed to a decisive victory in the Grand Prix de Paris to double his Group One tally for the season and leave connections believing they have a "serious contender" for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. Charlie Appleby's Irish Derby hero, ridden once more by William Buick, was prominent throughout at ParisLongchamp, running past Aidan O'Brien's pace-setter The Mediterranean with apparent ease. "We'll give him a bit of a break now because he's run in an English Derby, and Irish Derby and then backed it up two and a half weeks later in a Grand Prix de Paris. "He ran in the Grand Prix because he'd come out of the Irish Derby so well. "He's already a brilliant Derby winner so as long as he can stay at that level, that's pretty good."
