Seventeen remain in contention for Sunday’s Group 1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, with further supplementary entries expected on Wednesday.
Whilst all major prospects remain in the mix, Ed Walker's Almaqam, third in the Group 2 Prix Foy, has been taken out due to ground concerns and is likely to re-route to British Champions Day at Ascot. André Fabre has also omitted last year's fifth-placed Sevenna's Knight.
Triple Group 1 winner and Epsom Oaks heroine Minnie Hauk, who currently heads the market alongside Aventure at 7/2, is awaiting the supplementation stage to have her participation confirmed. Kalpana, who the latter deposed as favourite following a sub-par all-weather trial at Kempton, seeks to emulate Juddmonte's win last year courtesy of Bluestocking.
Three Japanese-trained colts provide further international interest, with Croix Du Nord, Alohi Alii, and Byzantine Dream heading to Longchamp on Sunday in pursuit of their country's long-awaited first Arc triumph.
With little significant rain forecast for Paris this week, a current going description of souple at Longchamp is expected to be maintained as we progress toward the opening day of the meeting on Saturday.
