Coral bookmakers have him listed at 50-1 to win on sunday and follow up by winning the Arc and BCC..
Anyway, I think they are pointing him towards the Arc and will decide after if he can take the BCC. AT least he is in the right hands. Fabre knows what it takes. I believe that you need a tough horse to take to dirt and Manduro certainly has that profile despite his breeding (well not too many Monsuns have tried dirt Im sure!). He should win on Sunday with the aid of a pacemaker. He's much better than last year!!

As you say i doubt many, if any Monsun's have tried dirt. It's got that he handles faster ground, because most of them need it softer than soft usually. I'd love to see him in the BCC, i think a strongly run 10 furlongs will be his best trip. I'm not convinced that 12 furlongs will suit him that well.

 MANDURO BAGS MAROIS PRIZE By PA Sport Staff Manduro enhanced his already tall reputation with an impressive victory in the Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville. The five-year-old showed he was not inconvenienced by the drop back to a mile by storming to an easy victory in the Group One event. Taking over from his pacemaker Toylsome, Andre Fabre's charge swept clear inside the final furlong to score from Holocene with Turtle Bowl third. Toylsome set a strong gallop from the outset as planned, with Manduro close up and travelling well for Stephane Pasquier. It was a matter of how far once Pasquier pressed the button, as Manduro made amends for his narrow defeat by Librettist in this race 12 months ago and secured a fourth win in as many starts this season. Turtle Bowl put in a brave effort but he was fighting a losing battle and was collared close home by Holocene for second spot. French Derby winner Lawman was most disappointing, trailing in last of the six runners. Paul Harley, racing manager to owner Baron Georg von Ullmann, said: "The Arc has always been the plan and it is very much the plan now. "This horse is extremely versatile and he is an exceptional horse. We planned for this race and he has delivered." Pasquier added: "He was really impressive and he won easily. Once he won at Royal Ascot, I realised the Arc was a very much a possibility." VC Bet have cut Manduro to 4-1 second favourite from 6-1 for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, while William Hill are slightly longer at 5-1. Coral also clipped him into 5-1 from 7s while Ladbrokes go 6-1. "Andre Fabre believes this horse is capable of winning big prizes over three distances on two surfaces, and it's mission accomplished as far as leg one is concerned," said Coral's David Stevens.
