RACING/News Round-Up: Dual Derby winner High Chaparral has been promoted to 5 to 2 clear favourite from 4 to 1 by Coral for the Breeders' Cup Turf following the news that Sulamani is a doubtful runner.

Sulamani finished second to Marienbard in Sunday's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe Lucien Barriere with High Chaparral just half a length back in third.

However, Sulamani's trainer Pascal Bary has said that the colt is unlikely to run again this year prompting Coral's move. Coral also trimmed Golan to 5 to 1, the same price as Marienbard.

Coral have removed Islington from the betting for the Breeders' Cup Filly And Mare Turf until her running plans become clearer. Golden Apples, trained by Ben Cecil in California, is Coral's 7 to 2 favourite with last year's winner Banks Hill at 4 to 1 and Kazzia at 5 to 1.

Top miler Noverre will retire to Darley's Kildangan Stud next year, it was announced yesterday. Godolphin's Rahy colt won last season's Sussex Stakes and is currently being prepared for the Champion Stakes at Newmarket on Saturday week.

Sam Bullard, head of nominations at Darley, said: "He's from one of the finest families in the book, and is a strongly-made, very attractive horse well worth coming to see once he's at Kildangan."
