Aidan O’Brien is represented by Irish Derby victor Los Angeles (10) and last year’s Leger hero Continuous (14) in the 16-strong field for Sunday’s Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at ParisLongchamp.

His son Joseph fields Al Riffa (nine), winner of a German Group 1 last time out.

Bluestocking and Sunway will represent British interests. Drawn in stall three, the Ralph Beckett-trained Bluestocking was supplemented for the Group 1 spectacular on Wednesday at a cost of €120,000 for owners Juddmonte, having landed the Prix Vermeille over the Arc course and distance last month.

David Menuisier’s Sunway was a winner at the highest level as a juvenile but has failed to hit similar heights this term, most recently finishing third in the St Leger, and will have to contend with an outside draw in 15.

Market leader

Prix du Jockey Club victor Look De Vega (eight) is at the head of the betting, despite suffering defeat at the hands of the reopposing Sosie (five) in the Prix Niel when last seen.

The latter is one of three contenders for trainer Andre Fabre with Mqse De Sevigne, winner of each of her four starts this term including three successive Group 1s, and Sevenna’s Knight also taking part.

Mqse De Sevigne will race from widest of all in stall 16 and Sevenna’s Knight will be in 12.

The Yoshito Yahagi-trained Shin Emperor (11) is the latest Japanese runner to bid for Arc glory, with Delius, Aventure, Fantastic Moon, Zarakem, Survie and Haya Zark completing the field.
