16:35 Tuesday 23rd September Racing Tips - 23/09/2014
Karam Albaari returns in cheekpieces and is still well treated on old form, though given I'd been backing him at bigger prices before missing out last time, I'm not all that taken with 13/2. Bahamian C looks the most likely winner here upped to 10 furlongs for the first time and he's a generous price but Dalaki should never be 12/1. Negatives first: the yard are winless this month and he will have company for the lead. So hopefully Richard Hughes will sit off the pace and have something to chase, as was the case for his sole win at Beverley. He got a wide trip all the way last time at Kempton when trying to get to the front after being slowly away so that can be forgiven. 10 furlongs at a conventional track should suit and the form of his nose second at Brighton has seen the 3rd and 4th win since and the 1st go close off a higher mark. Nottingham 16.05 - Dalaki 1pt e/w
Plenty of pace in the sprint handicap, namely in 10, 11, 3 and 5, with Swendab a possibility to go forward too from 8. I wouldn't mind Ubetterbegood (11/1) being drawn a little higher but he's ok out of 4 and his run here on penultimate start gave plenty of reasons to be encouraged. The race developed up the stands rail and once Freddie Tylicki had made the call to angle up the outside, he had nothing to chase. It was a little similar last time at Yarmouth when again the race just developed a little away from him and he looks to want to chase a pace for as long as possible. He's off a featherweight mark with Cam Hardie claiming a further 5lb and it's surely a case of when as opposed to if. Swendab shouldn't be outsider of the field either in first time cheekpieces. He is, however, best when allowed to dominate and there's plenty of others with a similar preference here. Nottingham 16.35 - Ubetterbegood 1pt e/w
One from Newcastle comes in the form of Red Paladin at a whopping 10/1, bet of the day. In truth there would ideally be another likely front runner to add to Reposer but Al's Memory might go forward back at 7 and there are plenty of prominent racers to help ensure something of a genuine test. Red Paladin will be held up and need things to drop right but he's held his form really well since winning at Doncaster. His Bold Lass form is superb given what she and Pearl Nation have gone on to do since and last time he was left with too much to do out the back. Interesting that when beaten on penultimate start connections said the ground was too quick. He has won on quick but does handle cut and, on breeding, a little ease in the ground if the rain comes should be ideal. Powerful Presence is very much 2nd choice in first time cheekpieces and well worth a play. Newcastle 16:20 - Red Paladin 1pt e/w

Taghrooda will continue her preparation for next month's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe with a racecourse gallop at Newmarket on Wednesday morning, with trainer John Gosden identifying Japanese star Just A Way as a major danger to her Longchamp challenge.
The sparkling winner of the Epsom Oaks and King George lost her unbeaten record when beaten half a length by Tapestry in the Yorkshire Oaks.
Taghrooda is to be put through her paces alongside a lead horse on the Rowley Mile.
Gosden said: "She's in good form and came screaming into season the day after York, although I'm not making excuses.
"I'm pointing her at the Arc and it's an open race this year with the Prix Diane winner (Avenir Certain) looking very nice and the Japanese horse exciting.
"She's in her last two-week build-up and just needs to come through her work.
"She did very well after York and put on weight. I need to get it off now, so she'll have a couple of pieces of work and a racecourse gallop.
"She handles any ground around good - not very soft and certainly not like a road.
"She's not overraced and I think being a three-year-old filly is a big factor, although Just A Way could be exceptional if he stays."

Teddy Grimthorpe, owner Khalid Abdullah's long-serving racing manager, said the decision to retire Kingman "wasn't taken lightly".
The four-times Group One winner had time called on his career after failing to recover from a throat infection in time for his likely swansong in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes on Champions Day at Ascot.
Frankel, as well as the likes of Midday and Twice Over, raced on past their three-year-old campaigns in the Abdullah silks, but Grimthorpe said there were various factors behind the decision to draw stumps with Kingman.
He told At The Races: "It (the timing of his retirement) was (down to) a number of factors.
"Obviously the ongoing throat infection is going to take some time to clear up, I would imagine.
"On top of that, we had to look at the various options he may or may not have had (as a four-year-old).
"Weighing in with that is the fact he really was the most brilliant miler.
"Prince Khalid has a history of keeping a lot of good horses in training as four-year-olds, so it (the decision to retire) certainly wasn't taken lightly."
Comparisons will be inevitably drawn between Kingman and Frankel, but Grimthorpe felt they had differing qualities.
"He was different (to Frankel). Frankel just annihilated his opposition, whereas this horse could put the race to bed very, very quickly," said Grimthorpe.

Mickael Barzalona is set for his first ride in Britain since June after being booked by Ismail Mohammed for defending champion Educate in Saturday's Betfred Cambridgeshire at Newmarket.
The 23-year-old returned to France at the start of the summer after a couple of seasons for Godolphin in Britain, but has retained his association with the international stable for Andre Fabre as well as riding for a number of other trainers.
Educate scraped home by a short head 12 months ago under Johnny Murtagh, giving Mohammed his biggest success in this country after what had been a succession of near-misses for the hold-up performer.
After a campaign in Dubai, he has finished fourth in each of his three starts this season and must shoulder top weight in the £160,000 handicap.
Mohammed's assistant, Niall Collum, said: "We were looking around for a jockey, we had one or two in mind, and we wanted to get something sorted out before they were all snapped up.
"The owner suggested we go for Mickael, who is a very good jockey. We'd just be a bit worried about drying ground for the horse, so a drop of rain wouldn't go amiss."
John Gosden confirmed he will be doubly represented in the race, with Cornrow and Maverick Wave attempting to give the trainer his fourth victory in the first leg of the 'Autumn Double'.
Only Jeremy Glover managed as many successes in the race during modern times, and Gosden's previous heroes, Halling, Tazeez and Pipedreamer, all turned out to be much better than simply handicappers.
Cornrow, who has won three of his five starts to date, is shortest of the pair at 10-1 with Paddy Power and would appear to be another unexposed candidate full of potential.
Maverick Wave, seen just four times so far, is more than double those odds at present.
Gosden said: "Cornrow, who will be ridden by William Buick, is in great form and if he's drawn well and where the action is, he will put in a bold show.
"Maverick Wave will be ridden by Robert Havlin.
"GM Hopkins won't get in and he might run in the Silver Cambridgeshire, although he wouldn't want too much drying up."

Jeremy Noseda would like to see Grandeur return to winning ways in the RH Hall Foundation Stakes at Goodwood on Wednesday before making any more plans.
A winner at Lingfield on All-Weather Finals day, he has since been campaigned in America, although he enjoyed little luck in three runs.
Grandeur was short of room when third in the historic Man O' War Stakes, after which he was given too much to do by Gary Stevens in the Manhattan Stakes before losing out in a photo-finish to the Grade Two Bowling Green Handicap.
This Listed race, in which he is clear on official ratings, is a drop in class, with Noseda hoping for a change of fortune.
"He's had a break since his trip to America but is in good form again," said the Shalfleet handler.
"He has a good record at Goodwood and this looks a nice spot for him so we'll keep our fingers crossed.
"It's fair to say he lacked a bit of luck in America, but this represents a drop in class.
"I hope we can get a win under his belt.
"We know what he can do and truth be told, if he runs up to his best form then he should win.
"I'd just like to get this out of the way before we make any more plans, though."

Rizeena will run in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes on Qipco Champions Day at Ascot if she goes to the well once more this autumn.
Trainer Clive Brittain had decided the Coronation Stakes winner had done enough for this campaign and was looking forward to training her as a four-year-old.
However, Kingman's absence from the QEIII, coupled with Rizeena's unbeaten record at Ascot, has given connections something to think about.
"Going for the QEII hasn't been discussed yet, but I'm sure it will be," said Brittain.
"She's in it, but the plan was that she wasn't going to run again this year. However, she's in fantastic form.
"She's also in the Sun Chariot (Newmarket, October 4), but she won't run in that and if she does run again it will be at Ascot.
"For whatever reason, she seems to be a 3lb better filly at Ascot than anywhere.
"She is three from three there so that would be taken into account."

Johnny Murtagh intends to train Royal Diamond and Mutual Regard for the Emirates Melbourne Cup, according to owner Andrew Tinkler.
Although Murtagh was initially cool on sending Royal Diamond to Australia after he could only finish sixth in the Irish St Leger, the eight-year-old stayer has now been confirmed as a potential candidate for the Flemington showpiece on November 4.
Mutual Regard has long been considered a realistic Melbourne contender since he claimed the Betfred Ebor at York on August 23.
Tinkler tweeted: "Royal Diamond to take his chance in the Melbourne Cup 2014 with stablemate Mutual Regard. We look forward to our visit to Melbourne."
Royal Diamond was assigned 55.5 kilograms when the weights for the Melbourne Cup were released last week, while Mutual Regard was given 55kg.
Gatewood, who failed to make the cut for the 2012 Melbourne Cup, will again try his luck.
The six-year-old entire, who has been allotted 55kg, returned to John Gosden's care after a spell with Chris Waller and has won three stakes races this season.
"Gatewood is shortly going into quarantine for the Melbourne Cup," Gosden said.
"He has done well this year and is in great form.
"Hopefully he goes there and runs a big one and after quarantine, he'll go for that race and nothing else."

Kingsgate Native finally returned to winning ways in Beverley's Eddie And Violet Smith Conditions Stakes, but connections are in no hurry to decide whether the popular veteran will race on.
There had been talk the nine-year-old may be retired after failing to fire when back down in Listed company the last twice.
Without a win since the Temple Stakes in May 2013, his whole career has been spent in either Listed or Group company and this was his first run out of that class.
He famously shed his maiden tag as a two-year-old when trained by John Best in the Nunthorpe Stakes way back in 2007 and has now won over £800,000 during his career.
Bought by Cheveley Park Stud in 2009, he has been retired once but was found to be sub-fertile at stud so was gelded and sent back into training.
He had a spell with Sir Michael Stoute but has been with Robert Cowell, who has a reputation for specialising with sprinters, since June 2012.
A rapid pace was set by Noble Storm and Tangerine Trees and Jim Crowley was all dressed up with nowhere to go on the rails.
Crowley manufactured a gap, though, and the 13-8 favourite beat Green Door by a length and three-quarters.
Cheveley Park's managing director Chris Richardson said: "I'm delighted to see him win. He's been below par so he's needed that.
"We need to speak to his owners (Mr and Mrs Thompson) there's no decision (on his future) - it's too early to say just yet."
Crowley said: "He ran well with me in the Palace House but has been below par his last two runs.
"I was worried I wouldn't get a run, but that (the scrimmaging) seemed to do him good as he enjoyed it.
"That will have done his confidence a lot of good, it was nice for him to win.
"I'm not sure what the plan is with him now."
Tony Coyle's Flicka's Boy (7-2) made every yard of the running in the Thanks For Your Support In 2014 Maiden Auction Stakes.
Odds-on favourite Clergyman got going all too late and finished third.
"I shouldn't have run him at Chester so he's deserved that," said Coyle.
"He's a big, scopey horse and is in at the sales at Newmarket next month, but we won't be giving him away.
"We haven't had a winner for six weeks so we needed that."
Hulcolt was a welcome winner for trainer Garry Moss and owner Ron Hull in the Leconfield Search & Rescue Squadron 50th Anniversary Handicap.
The three-year-old won his maiden on the Westwood a year ago but had shown little in the interim.
"He's been threatening to do that, but we've had a bit of a virus at the yard and the horses haven't been running quite right," said Hull.
The Beverley Annual Badgeholders Selling Stakes went to Jedd O'Keeffe's Aneedh (5-1), ridden by PJ McDonald.
"He's got ability and will win more races like that." said McDonald.
He was sold for £7,000 to Clive Mulhall.

Before the new National Hunt season begins in earnest, Nigel Twiston-Davies is planning to run two of his brightest prospects at Perth on Thursday with Betfair Hurdle winner Splash Of Ginge and Aintree bumper winner Ballybolley set to make the long journey.
Splash Of Ginge made great strides over timber last year and proved his 33-1 success at Newbury was no fluke when finishing second to Lac Fontana in a Grade One at the Grand National meeting.
It was at the same fixture that Ballybolley announced his arrival as a horse with a future when he wore down Relic Rock to maintain his unbeaten record in bumpers.
Splash Of Ginge is lined up to make his debut over fences in the Timothy Hardie Jewellers Novices' Chase (for The Centenary Silver Plate), a race Twiston-Davies has won with the likes of Astracad and Double Ross in recent years.
"Hopefully Splash Of Ginge will be running, as long as the ground is OK," said Twiston-Davies.
"He was a wonderful horse last season and just kept on progressing.
"This is a race I like and have used for my better novices in the past and I've had my eye on it for a while."
Ballybolley is due to run in the CNR Novices' Hurdle.
"He'll run as well, he certainly looks an exciting type for novice hurdles this season," said Twiston-Davies.

Jockey James Doyle felt "privileged" to have been associated with Kingman, whose retirement was announced on Monday afternoon.
The exceptional miler will stand at Juddmonte Farms' Banstead Manor Stud in 2015 after he failed to recover from a throat infection in preparation for the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot on Qipco Champions Day on October 18.
An ambitious assault at the Breeders' Cup meeting in America had also been quietly considered, but time has now been called on a decorated career.
Kingman won seven of his eight races, including Group One triumphs in the Irish 2,000 Guineas, the Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood, the Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville and the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot.
Doyle, who was on board the three-year-old colt for every race but his debut success at Newmarket, told Press Association Sport: "I've mixed emotions, but, above all else, I'm privileged to have played just a small part in his career.
"It's like anything, though, horses are not machines and they can't go on forever.
"He was very, very special.
"His ability to relax during a race, no matter what, and his high cruising speed set him apart.
"Without a doubt he's the best horse I've ever sat on."
Doyle nominated Kingman's Sussex Stakes victory on July 30 as one of his most potent memories.
Sent off the 2-5 favourite, the partnership came from off a ludicrously slow pace within a heartbeat to strike by a length in an extraordinary encounter.
Doyle said: "That day at Goodwood was a great spectacle as it intrigued a lot of people before the race as to just how it would all pan out.
"The way he quickened that day was something else, and it just showed that whatever was thrown his way he could handle it."

Australia: Kerrin McEvoy has ended his 12-year association with Godolphin to become a freelance jockey.
In what is an amicable parting of ways, McEvoy has decided the time is right to go it alone, having ridden big winners for Sheikh Mohammed's operation in both Australia and Britain.
Speaking to Sky Racing in Australia, McEvoy said: "It's been a great association. To be whisked overseas as a baby-faced 23-year-old and working with Frankie Dettori and the whole operation was an eye opener. Sheikh Mohammed has left an indelible mark on my career.
"It's been a wonderful ride and I've been a very lucky boy."
Explaining the thinking behind the move, McEvoy added: "The nature of the jockey bookings suggested I might not be on as many Sheikh Mohammed-owned horses as I previously had been."
Godolphin no longer retain jockeys on a full-time basis, and McEvoy has had to share rides with James McDonald since John O'Shea's appointment as trainer for Godolphin in Australia last year.
McEvoy said: "It's an amicable split and I'm sure there'll be times where I'll be in the royal blue in the future and hopefully ride some more winners for Sheikh Mohammed and I look forward to that."
During his time in Britain McEvoy won the 2004 St Leger on Rule Of Law and the 2005 St James's Palace Stakes on Shamardal when riding for Saeed Bin Suroor, and he has also landed a host of big prizes in Australia, including the Golden Slipper on Sepoy and Caulfield Guineas on Helmet.

John Kenny has switched Jacks Island's attention towards the cross country events at Cheltenham later this year after he missed an outing in France earlier this month. Jacks Island could run at Cheltenham At the last Punchestown Festival, the 11-year-old claimed his first victory since April 2011 when striking over the banks course, and he went on to finish fifth in the same event at Le Lion d'Angers where Cheltenham maestro Balthazar King fell. "He was going to run in the race at Craon that Balthazar King won the other week but I just ran out of time with him," said County Carlow-based Kenny. "I was thinking of running him in Ireland this week but the ground isn't soft enough for him. "We'll look at the two races at Cheltenham before Christmas, and if he didn't run at the November meeting there's a race for him at Punchestown on the same weekend."

Jockey Kerrin McEvoy has ended his long-standing role as stable jockey to Godolphin. Kerrin McEvoy: Left Godolphin The 33-year-old Australian still hopes to ride in the renowned royal-blue silks, but he will now embark upon a freelance career. McEvoy played a big part in the progression of Sheikh Mohammed's operation after he came to prominence when winning the Melbourne Cup aboard Brew in 2000. The jockey secured over 500 winners for Godolphin, including 29 victories at Group One level, and enjoyed a particularly fruitful spell in England as Frankie Dettori's number two. Amongst his big-race winners, the jockey partnered Rule Of Law to victory in the 2004 St Leger at Doncaster and Shamardal to Royal Ascot glory in the St James's Palace Stakes a year later. He also struck aboard Dubawi in the Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville in 2005. McEvoy returned to his native Australia in July 2007 to become Sheikh Mohammed's retained rider after spending five seasons in England. McEvoy said in a statement: "I have been blessed to have been given this amazing opportunity to ride for Godolphin and Darley all over the world - it has been a life-changing experience. "I am indebted to Sheikh Mohammed and the whole team for their support over the journey and I wish them all the best for the future. "It has been great getting the continued support of many excellent trainers outside of Darley and I am really looking forward to developing some new and renewing some old relationships around Australia in the coming months. "I'll get out and about and ride some track work at Randwick and Rosehill. "I'll be busy at the trials. If it means I ride for Godolphin in the future, fantastic. "It's all about getting out and about, rebuilding old associations with trainers and owners and forging new ones. "I have some incredibly fond memories working alongside great racing people, both overseas and at home." Godolphin's Australian-based racing manager Henry Plumptre said in a statement: "Kerrin came in to see me last week to discuss his future and indicated that he would like to continue his career as a freelance jockey. "Given the length of service and considerable expertise that he has given both to Darley and Godolphin, I agreed with him that our relationship would end today. "From our perspective, and that of the whole Australian team, we are very sad to lose his services day to day but expect to see him on Godolphin horses on a regular basis in his new role as a freelance rider. "Kerrin has been an integral part of our success in Australia since 2008 and, on behalf of the whole Darley and Godolphin operation in Australia, we wish him and Cathy (his wife) the very best for the future."

Johnny Burke is eagerly looking forward to his first scheduled ride on Sizing Europe in the PWC Champion Chase at Gowran on October 4. Sizing Europe is set for Gowran Park Although now 12, the gelding is the jewel in the crown of Burke's new job, which is as first rider to owners Alan and Ann Potts. The teenaged rising star of Irish jumping is still a conditional, but has taken over one of the most important retainers from Andrew Lynch. The Grade Two event is Sizing Europe's traditional pipe-opener, and he has won it for the last three years. Nearly written-off as being too old, Henry de Bromhead's veteran brought the house down when winning the Punchestown Champion Chase last April and it was decided he would stay in training. "I've been pinching myself, I've had a great start and I'm really looking forward to the winter," Burke told At The Races. "Hopefully in two weeks I'll be riding Sizing Europe. I've not sat on him yet, but I've been putting in plenty of work at home watching his runs. "You've grown up watching Sizing Europe running in all these big races, and now I'm riding him and all these young horses in the graded races. "Being a young lad growing up, that's where you want to be. I'm really looking forward to it, it's Sizing Europe's race and hopefully he'll collect it again."

JIM BEST has claimed he will be forced to deceive the betting public by saddling horses he does not want to run after being excluded by the BHA, along with Gay Kelleway, from the self-certification process for the rest of the year.
Best, who was embroiled in controversy this month when Saint Helena landed a gamble at Southwell under Tony McCoy - whose original mount Into The Wind was withdrawn after a ground change - was among 14 trainers warned in May they risked losing the ability to self-certify unless their percentage of non-runners fell across the three months to the end of August.
The East Sussex trainer was indignant on Tuesday after being informed by BHA director of racing Ruth Quinn that if he wants to withdraw a horse on veterinary grounds he will now have to get the form signed by a vet and that failure to do so will result in a fine.
Best, who argues the majority of his self-certificates are for horses he feels would not do themselves justice after failing to eat their overnight feed, says he is not prepared to pay the vet fees.
He said: "By stopping me and my brother Tom self-certifying the only people to suffer will be the public and punters, because you'll basically be deceiving them. Ruth Quinn says I should call a vet out, but you can't do that at 4.30am or 5am when it would cost £200, and also our owners wouldn't allow it when we're professionals and know the horses best.
"We're only a small operation and can't afford a fine, so if we had an odds-on favourite we'd have to run it without punters knowing it hadn't eaten up overnight and without us having any confidence it could perform to its ability."
He added: "To us, this has come very close to the Saint Helena incident, but we feel they're two different issues because when we take a horse out because of ground, as with Into The Wind, that's not a self-certification, and we could do the same thing again next week.
"All I want to do is let the public understand that the only ones to lose out on this are some horses, because they probably shouldn't be running, and the betting public. If we have an odds-on favourite due to leave the yard at 5am and it has not eaten up, we wouldn't want to run it, but as we haven't got the ability to self-certify we'll be forced to run. That will be deceiving the public."
Saint Helena is the subject of a BHA investigation in the wake of her victory at Southwell after being backed from 6-1 to 11-10. The mare was making her handicap debut over hurdles, having failed to make the frame in seven previous starts since joining Best, and was originally due to be partnered by Rhys Flint, who at that point had not had a ride this season.
Quinn said: "Jim Best and Gay Kelleway were two of a small handful of trainers who had been operating with non-runner rates above the thresholds throughout 2013, and who were written to in May to inform them that, should their ratio of non-runners not drop below the threshold, their right to self-certify may be withdrawn for the remainder of 2014.
"Having reviewed their non-runner rates after the further three-month period, it has been determined they both continue to operate above the threshold levels. As such it is the BHA's view they are continuing to abuse the self-certification system and they should have this privilege withdrawn for the remainder of 2014.
"The thresholds have been set significantly higher than the average non-runner rate, and the vast majority of trainers are able to operate well below these thresholds, so in the view of the BHA there is no excuse to be producing non-runners at this rate."
She added: "The action taken is the result of an initiative by the BHA to regulate rules regarding non-runners on a more robust basis, as part of a wider focus on safeguarding field sizes and to protect the interests of the punter.
"The consequence for the trainers is that they must now operate in the same manner as all trainers would have done before the privilege of self-certification was introduced."

17:45 Wednesday 24th September Racing Tips - 24/09/2014
Tico is sure to be well supported in the market at Perth but his UK mark looks lofty and he's not won for a very long time. At the prices I much prefer the returning Island Heights who is a 5 year old very much going the right way and who looks to be crying out for 3 miles. He romped home on handicap debut and the form of his last time out 2nd is very strong. The ground should be fine on pedigree and he's a good ground point winner, though they've had a little rain anyway. 9/2 looks well worth taking. Perth 17.45 - Island Heights 1pt win
Staying at Perth, Velator opened a 9/4 shot and I was going to leave alone but now looks very appealing at the bigger price of 3/1. He looked as though he'd leave this sort of mark far behind him for his previous yard but was ultimately disappointing last term. He needed the run first up for Peter Bowen and then won very easily last time out in first time cheekpieces. A 10lb higher mark should be within him and the drop in trip will pose no problems. He'll be prominent too, important given the lack of pace on. Perth 17.15 - Velator 2pt win
Good Luck Charm is very tempting in first time blinkers at Goodwood with Ryan Moore on top for his father Gary. He's dropped to a winning mark and will enjoy a decent test at the trip. With Gary Moore last term was Shamahan and he makes more appeal at a bigger price of 16/1. He's run well here on 2 previous starts, the first for Moore last term over this trip when drawn out of it but plugging on. He ran over 6 on penultimate start here and looked outpaced but held his position an so too last time over 5 and a half furlongs at Bath. He has won over that course and distance but looks well worth a go back over further, a trip he's certainly bred for, and is well drawn to track a decent pace out of stall 3. He'll need to settle but I'm pleased to see a few front runner drawn around him as I'm not sure he'd have a chance of leading this field home. The yard are in good nick too. Goodwood 16:55 - Shamahan 1pt e/w

Gregory Benoist has elected to ride Ectot over Avenir Certain in the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp on Sunday week.
It was said to be a tough decision for the jockey, he has sided with the Elie Lellouche-trained colt, who burst into the picture with victory in the Prix Niel on Arc Trials day, in his first race for five months.
Christophe Lemaire will partner the Jean-Claude Rouget-trained Avenir Certain, winner of the French 1000 Guineas and the French Oaks under Benoist.
"Gregory Benoist will ride Ectot and Christophe Lemaire will ride Avenir Certain," said Sylvain Vidal, racing manager to Gerard Augustin-Normand, who part-owns both horses.
Al Shaqab Racing recently bought a major interest in Ectot, meaning Frankie Dettori could have been in line for the ride had Benoist chosen Avenir Certain.
Vidal continued: "Both horses are very well and it was very hard for Gregory to choose between them.
"Gregory was in Pau on Tuesday to ride Avenir Certain in a very good gallop, so it was very hard to choose one, but he did.
"Ectot is not difficult to ride, but has a lot of character, so for the team I think this was the best decision.
"Avenir Certain is very easy to ride and Ectot could be a little bit tense in the race.
"Gregory Benoist has always ridden him, so he knows him very well. He won his first Group One race on him (the Criterium International at Saint-Cloud in November) as well."
Ectot and Avenir Certain are vying for outright second-favouritism in the Arc behind the John Gosden-trained Oaks and King George winner Taghrooda.
Clearly delighted with what is a dream spare ride, Lemaire tweeted: "My ride in the Arc will be Avenir Certain!!!"
Having lost the ride in the Arc on last year's winner Treve to Thierry Jarnet, Dettori could turn to the Aidan O'Brien-trained Ruler Of The World, an impressive winner in his own right in the Prix Foy.

Taghrooda delighted connections in a workout on the Rowley Mile at Newmarket on Wednesday as part of her preparation for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe on Sunday week.
The John Gosden-trained filly heads the ante-post market for the Longchamp showpiece with some bookmakers, despite losing her 100 per cent record with a shock defeat in the Yorkshire Oaks last month.
However, Taghrooda appears to have put that behind her as she continued her build-up for the Arc in a racecourse gallop, in which she was accompanied by a lead horse.
The Investec Oaks and King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes winner was partnered in the exercise by Paul Hanagan, retained rider to owner Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum.
"She worked this morning and, touch wood, it went well," said Sheikh Hamdan's racing manager Angus Gold.
"Paul was very happy with her. She looked good, moved well and seemed enthusiastic, so it's so far, so good.
"The plan is very much to go for the Arc.
"Today was a case of taking her away to give her a change of scenery. She'll have another gallop. I don't know when, it will be up to John.
"The main thing was she seemed enthusiastic and Paul was delighted with her."

Moyglare Stud Stakes heroine Cursory Glance could possibly run again this season.
The Roger Varian-trained youngster has barely put a foot wrong in four starts to date, winning her debut at Kempton before picking up Group Three honours in the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot.
She met with a length and a half defeat at the hands of the speedy Tiggy Wiggy in the Lowther at York and then stepped up to seven furlongs to strike at the top level at the Curragh, on a weekend when Varian also won the Ladbrokes St Leger at Doncaster.
Speaking at Goodwood, Varian said: "We haven't made our mind up what we'll do yet. She came out of the Moyglare so well we have the option of running her again if we want."
General ante-post favourite for the Qipco 1000 Guineas, she does hold an entry in the Dubai Fillies' Mile at Newmarket on October 17.
