I think it would have to be very very soft for them to scratch and even if it is soft, i think he'll win.

The Arc was the plan from early summer. King George and the Arc. The only concern for both races was the prosect of soft ground.
I just found it interesting that they never nominated this race, and specifically said that if he won the Arc, that would be it.
You say it will need to be very, very soft. There is every chance it could be judging by the forecast. If he does run and gets stuffed they will be gutted to go out on a low note, that certainly wouldn't be the plan.
