The latter will line up at similar betting odds to win the Arc, with only a head separating the two runners at Ascot.

The JC-Rouget-trained runner has not been out of the winners’ enclosure in five races, with the latest success coming at Deauville when the horse delivered as strong favourite. The Prix De l'Arc de Triomphe picture is starting to become clear, with this Group 1 contest attracting a number of star names and that includes Ace Impact.
