Al Kazeem could be set for another clash with his Prix Ganay conqueror Cirrus Des Aigles in the Prix D'Ispahan later this month.

The two veterans fought out a pulsating finish to the Group One at Longchamp on Sunday, with the nine-year-old Cirrus Des Aigles getting the better of Roger Charlton's seven-year-old.

Options now for Al Kazeem are another trip to France, for what would be the third time this season, or Ireland for the Tattersalls Gold Cup, which he won in 2013.

"We've only just got back, but he seems fine," said Charlton.

"I've no real thoughts on his next run as yet.
