If they are really serious about going for a 12f race (and not simply talking it up for stud purposes), the King George seems a much better option than the Arc. Yeats clearly loves Ascot and the ground he has consistently found there, and he always produces his best runs (Gold Cups and Goodwood Cups) in June/July. The ground at Longchamp is unlikely to suit him as well, and his form usually dips a bit in the autumn. Then there almost always is an emerging star French 3 year old who will certainly not put in an appearance in the King George.
The only real downside to Ascot that I can see is that Yeats would miss the Goodwood Cup, a much more winnable option for him. But if they want a real chance of his winning or at least running well in a 12f G1, surely the King George is better for the horse than the Arc.
