Arc weekend 2018: Find out how Britain and Ireland’s runners fared on both days the Longchamp festival

Day 2: Sunday

Britain and Ireland were out of luck in the opening Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac as outsider Lily's Candle took the spoils.

Aidan O'Brien's Pink Dogwood set a scorching pace but was unable to quite see it out for the victory.

There was an awful lot of scrimmaging up the home straight which caused havoc for favourite Rocques, who got no run at all.

The same went for Richard Hannon's Star Terms, who can be deemed a very unlucky loser as she flew home to grab third.

Charlie Appleby's Ceratonia was disappointing, as was Saeed Bin Suroor's Dubai Beauty, who came looming but found little.

Huge success for British and Irish raiders in the second race on the card, the Jean-Luc Lagardere, as Royal Marine soldiered to victory.

It was back to the big-time for Godolphin and Oisin Murphy, and the famous blue colours were finally returned to the Group 1 winners' enclosure.

Broome ran a belter for Aidan O'Brien, finishing second after setting a very strong pace, but it was disappointment for Boitron, who never looked like getting involved.

Charlie Hills' Dark Jedi was outclassed.

ENABLE had British and Irish eyes smiling as she landed her second Arc on the bounce - but it got oh so close.

James Doyle and Sea Of Class came with a withering run down the outside, having been drawn in the car park, and looked desperately unlucky not to get up in the final stride.

Third and fourth were both claimed by the home team, but Capri showed he's back to his best, finishing fifth, and Salouen ran a belter to be sixth for Sylvester Kirk at 80-1.

Defoe, Hunting Horn, Nelson and Magical didn't feature.

A brilliant Arc Sunday got even better for the British and Irish raiders as Wild Illusion landed the Prix de l'Opera.

The Godolphin filly showed her Nassau win was no flash in the pan and produced a devastating turn of foot to leave the field struggling in her wake.

Magic Wand did Aidan O'Brien proud, squirming up the rail to finish second under Ryan Moore.

James Doyle, so unlucky in the previous contest, couldn't work his magic on Urban Fox, while last year's winner Rhododendron was overhauled late.

Desert Diamond, Athena, and Winter Lightning all found the company a little too hot.

There was no stopping the raiding party as Mabs Cross found an extra gear late to mow down pacesetter Soldier's Call in an Abbaye to remember.

Battaash, red-hot favourite before the race, was in the perfect position but looked to do too much too soon and paved the way for the closers, eventually finishing fourth.

Havana Grey was in the vanguard early but found the pace a little hot, while 80-1 outsider Lost Treasure looked very unlucky for Aidan O'Brien, finding terrible trouble in running at a crucial moment.

Hit The Bid, Sioux Nation, Alpha Delphini, Different League and Declarationofpeace were all out of their depth.

A fantastic day for GB and Ire was topped off in the final Group 1 of the day with One Master's last-gasp victory in the Prix de la Foret.

Pierre Charles-Boudot gave a French Master-class, coming with a stunning late run to see off the plucky runner-up Inns Of Court.

Fellow British raider Dutch Connection ran off his hooves to finish third, and Gustav Klimt added to Aidan O'Brien's hard luck stories by finishing fourth.

Sir Dancelot, Burnt Sugar, So Beloved, James Garfield and Teppal all had their limitations exposed in the exalted company.

Day 1: Saturday

BRUNDTLAND gave Britain and Ireland the perfect start to Arc weekend by winning the opening contest on Saturday.

Charlie Appleby's unbeaten colt stayed on gamely to deny Lillian Russell in the Qatar Prix Chaudenay.

Having set the pace from an early stage, jockey William Buick had to get to work on his mount rounding the home turn - and at one stage victory didn't look likely.

However, the son of Dubawi is made of stern stuff and produced battling qualities to surge back past the French contender in the closing stages.

The perfect start continued in the fourth race on the card, the Criterum de la Vente, as Michael Bell's Master Brewer swept to success.

First-time blinkers made a big difference to the son of Reliable Man who went on to win convincingly by three lengths.

It was another on the day for jockey William Buick and gave the winner a massive first prize of £121,681.

Later on the card, British and Irish raiders were out of luck in the Group 2 Qatar Prix Dollar - but only just.

William Buick was at the centre of it all once again as he brought the progressive Loxley upsides the Queen's Fabricate with what looked like a winning challenge.

However, neither counted on a late burst from French outsider Alignement and the British pair were just touched off in a rousing finish.

Ostilio gave Simon Crisford a day to remember in the Qatar Prix Daniel Wildenstein.

A field full of quality lined up for the Group 2 prize, but in the end the son of New Approach was far too good for his rivals, coming clear in impressive fashion.

It was the third win in four starts for the improving three-year-old and he can now add an Arc weekend victory to his already glittering CV.

British runners also filled out the places, with Richard Hannon's Oh This Is Us grabbing second and James Tate's Hey Gaman holding on for third.

Max Dynamite and Montaly were unable to land a blow in the Group 1 Prix du Cadran but it was a different story for Princess Yaiza in the closing contest.

Gavin Cromwell's three-year-old fought gamely to narrowly deny her pursuers in the Group 2 Qatar Prix de Royallieu.

The performance was a career best for the filly and gave Andra Atzeni a nice fillip ahead of Arc day.
