The return of Luxembourg: can the forgotten horse emerge as a new Arc contender?

Luxembourg is set to return to action in the Group 3 Royal Whip Stakes at the Curragh on Saturday. The 2,000 Guineas third had been out for a long time with a muscle injury.

Luxembourg is a 20-1 chance to win the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe on Saturday. Last year's Prix runner-up Hurricane Lane has struggled this season.

Luxembourg is a half brother to Leo De Fury and Lady Dahlia. He won the Vertem Futurity over a mile and a quarter in the Royal Whip. His closest competitor is unlikely to be declared and O'Brien will target the Juddmonte International or the Great Voltigeur at York.

Luxembourg is a horse trained by Aidan O'Brien.

Luxembourg is a horse that is recovering from injury. He is preparing for the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown on September 10th. Longchamp and British Champions Day are in the future.

Luxembourg is making his comeback at the Curragh this weekend. He was injured in the 2,000 Guineas and was a big favourite for Derby. The colt could have a say in outcome of the Royal Whip.

Luxembourg has been injured for 105 days. He has only four starts to his name but is a promising prospect. The 1m4f Arc trip could stretch him. Luxembourg has four Group 1 entries in the next couple of months.
