Arc draw: Enable to break from stall two with Ulysses alongside in one
Leading Arc contenders Ulysses and Enable have been drawn next to each other on the inside in stalls one and two.
The John Gosden-trained Enable, who is evens favourite to win the Chantilly spectacular, got the better of Ulysses when the pair clashed at Ascot in the King George. Ulysses, trained by Sir Michael Stoute, subsequently won the Juddmonte International at York and is a top price of 8-1 to claim Sunday's prestigious race.
Aidan O'Brien, who will saddle five in the Arc, endured mixed fortunes as Idaho, Winter and Order Of St George were drawn in stalls seven, eight and nine respectively, but St Leger winner Capri is in 15, while Seventh Heaven is even wider in 17.
Zarak, a son of 2008 winner Zarkava, will have to break from the widest stall of all as he has been drawn in 18.
The big Japanese hope Satono Diamond, who suffered defeat in the Prix Foy, will break from 13.
