Richard Hannon could give highly-rated two-year-old Rosallion a chance to redeem his reputation in Sunday\u2019s Group One Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere on the Prix de L\u2019Arc de Triomphe undercard at Longchamp.<\/p>\n
Hannon has made no secret of how highly he rates the son of Blue Point, who romped home at Ascot in July.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But, after starting odds-on favourite, Rosallion lost his unbeaten record in Doncaster\u2019s Champagne Stakes.<\/p>\n
Rosallion had been expected to run next in Newmarket\u2019s Dewhurst Stakes but Hannon said: \u2018He\u2019ll run if the ground is quick which it looks like it might be. They went slow early at Doncaster.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘He travelled well but when he was asked to quicken on the sticky ground, he was just wheel-spinning.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Richard Hannon (pictured) has made no secret of how highly he rates\u00a0two-year-old Rosallion<\/p>\n
‘It was very disappointing and I am very keen for the horse to show what he can do.\u2019<\/p>\n
Fifteen horses remain in the Arc, four of them from Britain: Bay Bridge, Hukum, Free Wind (Frankie Dettori\u2019s last ride in the race) and Westover.<\/p>\n
Aidan O\u2019Brien will supplement St Leger winner Continuous to the line-up. He will be O\u2019Brien\u2019s only representative and continues to shorten in the betting with Paddy Power cutting him to 7-1.<\/p>\n
The 5-2 favourite is Jean-Claude Rouget-trained unbeaten French Derby winner Ace Impact.<\/p>\n
