Arc winner Danedream will have her first start in England on Saturday when she contests the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot.
The Betfair-sponsored showpiece looks like being a very strong renewal with dual Coronation Cup winner St Nicholas Abbey, last year's winner and Eclipse hero Nathaniel and Melbourne Cup hero Dunaden all among 12 possibles.
Following her victory in the Arc, the Peter Schiergen-trained Danedream finished sixth in the Japan Cup but returned with an easy win at Baden-Baden in May. She then travelled back to France for the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud but could only manage fourth to Meandre.

Dermot Weld would like to see an improvement in the weather ahead of Princess Highway's bid for the Darley Irish Oaks at the Curragh on Sunday.
The County Kildare trainer has won the fillies' Classic twice, with Blue Wind (1981) and Dance Design (1996), and believes the Moyglare Stud-owned three-year-old has a good chance of making it number three.
Princess Highway booked her place in the Group One contest with a six-length romp in the Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot, beating Epsom Oaks third The Fugue.
