Prix de l’Abbaye next target for Invincible Army

James Tate is currently a crack at the Qatar Prix P l’Abbaye at Longchamp month after the colt Campaign from the Flying Five Stakes at the Curragh, to Get Invincible Army.

The four-year-old stayed on strongly to take third position at the minimum trip behind Fairyland from the Group One dashboard.

“I could see the very likely race for being the Prix Marcel Boussac.
