Sakhee was yesterday handed the chance "to do something new" when Hamdan Al Maktoum surprisingly decided to aim the runaway Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner at the Breeders' Cup Classic.

Godolphin's star colt will take on dual Derby winner Galileo - whose old rival Fantastic Light will instead represent Godolphin in the mile-and-a-half Turf.

Aidan O'Brien's pair, Galileo and Black Minnaloushe, were handed boxes five and three respectively.
