15 horses stand their ground following the first forfeit stage
Ace Impact and Hukum are among 15 horses to stand their ground for the the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Paris Longchamp on Sunday following the first forfeit stage.
French Derby hero Ace Impact is the clear favourite to provide trainer Jean-Claude Rouget with his second victory following the success of Sottsass three years ago.
The Owen Burrows-trained Hukum and Ralph Beckett's Westover look the pick of the British raiders.
Michael Stoute's Bay Bridge and John and Thady Gosden's Free Wind, the potential final Arc ride for Frankie Dettori, also remain in contention.
Aidan O'Brien has left in Emily Dickinson, but indicated she is likely to go to the Prix du Cadran instead, paving the way for his St Leger hero Continuous to be supplemented on Wednesday.
Continuous does not hold an entry in the Arc, but O'Brien did raise the possibility of supplementing the three-year-old at a cost of €120,000 in the immediate aftermath of his Doncaster triumph and the Ballydoyle handler is now preparing to add him to the field.
