Workforce in good shape for Arc date with destiny

Michael Stoute believes his Derby hero Workforce is ready to “do himself justice” in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp on Sunday.

The King’s Best colt looked destined for greatness after running away with the Epsom Classic by seven lengths, but he then beat only one home when odds-on for Ascot’s King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

His Arc participation has remained right in the balance since, with connections only making a final decision to let him take his chance after a routine workout on Thursday morning.
