Four-year-old out to 5-1 for Longchamp feature as Behkabad is new market leader with Coral Fame And Glory was uneasy in the betting market for the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe last night and even lost his position as favourite for the race with one major firm, but his trainer, Aidan O’Brien, denied the colt had suffered any kind of setback.
