David Menuisier hopes to cap a career-best season on the best possible note with Group 1 contenders set to line up at Newmarket and Longchamp this weekend.

The trainer will watch Tamfana bid for a top-level breakthrough in the Virgin Bet Sun Chariot Stakes on Saturday before driving to France, where Sunway will take his chance in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
