Trainer Freddy Head has announced he is to retire at the end of the year at the age of 75.

Cirrus des Aigles established a 10 lengths winning margin in the Grand Prix de Deauville over 2500m on soft ground.

Cirrus Des Aigles gave the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe claims of Sarafina a timely boost when he sauntered to victory in Sunday's G2 Grand Prix de Deauville.

And it happens - the track will be soft to heavy following some recent inclement weather.

Moonlight Cloud won the G1 Maurice de Gheest-Goldikova at Deauville on Sunday in a style reminiscent of her famous colleague at Freddy Head's yard.
