October 01, 2025

FRANCIS-HENRI Graffard has confirmed his three jockeys for the Qatar Prix de I'Arc de Triomphe, with Tom Marquand picking up the mount on Prix de Diane winner Gezora.

- NICK ROBSON Press Association

Marquand, who recently won the St Leger for the second time on Aidan O'Brien's Scandinavia, has yet to land Europe’s showpiece race.

Graffard also runs Daryz (Mickael Barzalona) and Prix Jean Romanet heroine Quisisana, who will be ridden by Alexis Pouchin.

“As usual Mickael Barzalona will ride Daryz, Alexis Pouchin has ridden Quisisana before and Tom Marquand has been booked for Gezora,” said Graffard.
