All roads lead to Arc for Libaud ace

Eric Libaud’s Royal Ascot hero Vision D’Etat is being prepared for a second tilt at the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp in October.

The four-year-old was beaten just three and a half lengths by wonder filly Zarkava in Europe’s premier middle-distance event last year, and connections believe he is an improved individual this season.
