This famous Group One was first staged at Paris-Longchamp racecourse back in 1920. During its 102-year history, many of Europe's finest have landed this most prestigious prize, including legendary names like Mill Reef, Dancing Brave, Sea The Stars, Treve and Enable.

We've got a truly fascinating renewal of the Arc to enjoy on Sunday, with ten Group One winners representing five different countries.

Ace Impact tops the market, but he's a little too short in the betting for a horse who's yet to prove his stamina over 12 furlongs. St Leger winners have a poor record in the Arc and I'm not convinced that the renewal Continuous won at Doncaster was particularly stellar.

I had thought that the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II Stakes form was the strongest leading into Sunday's race. Either Westover or Hukum would be worthy winners of this great race. The draw, however, hasn't done either any favours, placing one on the inside rail and the other in the second-widest stall of all.

If Equinox truly is the best racehorse in the world, then Through Seven Seas - who was only beaten a neck by Equinox last time out - has to be regarded as a genuine contender, especially on ground that could be on the better side of soft. If Sir Michael Stoute wasn't enduring such a dreadful season, I'd be tempted to back Bay Bridge too, who has shown throughout his career that he possesses plenty of class.

In the end, I've had a tentative each-way stab on SIMCA MILLE, despite what could turn out to be a tricky draw in the widest stall of all.

Sebastien Wattel's charge looked set for an outing in last year's Arc, having won the Prix Niel on the back of a narrow defeat to Onesto in the Grand Prix de Paris. Sadly, Simca Mille was forced to miss this great race and an ambitious tilt at the Japan Cup ended in a 10-length defeat.

Alexis Pouchin's mount returned to action this term with a solid second behind Iresine in the Prix Ganay. Simca Mille then trounced his rivals in the Grand Prix de Chantilly, before claiming his first Group One victory in the Grosser Preis von Berlin. Although his margin of victory over Sisfahan was only half-a-length in the end, Simca Mille was much the best in that race, kicking four lengths clear when asked for an effort before being heavily eased in the closing stages.

The last two winners of the Arc, Alpinista and Torquator Tasso both feature on the roll of honour for the Grosser Preis von Berlin, so its reputation as a key Arc trial has grown considerably. As I mentioned earlier, a wide draw is far from ideal, but I still feel that Simca Mille is one of the strongest stayers in this field and this progressive four-year-old could scare the market leaders.
