Frankie Dettori will get the chance to win a fifth Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe on Sunday after Aidan O’Brien ushered him from the substitute's bench to take the ride on Gold Cup hero Order Of St George.

It will be Dettori's 28th mount in Europe's most valuable contest, which he won last year on Golden Horn, and follows his disappointment on Tuesday when his intended mount in the race, Fascinating Rock, was removed in favour of the Qipco Champion Stakes.

As well as Order Of St George, whose odds for the Chantilly showpiece range from 12-1 to 20-1, O'Brien is set to saddle third-favourite Found, who is generally 7-1, with Ryan Moore on board, and 25-1 chance Highland Reel, who will be ridden by Seamie Heffernan.
