Sunway was the only British-trained entry to stand his ground for the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Monday’s forfeit stage.
He appears among 18 horses for the ParisLongchamp showpiece but is expected to be joined on Wednesday by Prix Vermeille heroine Bluestocking, who is set to be supplemented by Ralph Beckett and owners Juddmonte.
Aidan O’Brien took out City Of Troy but still has five horses going forward in Los Angeles, Continuous, Auguste Rodin, Luxembourg and Opera Singer.
Andre Fabre is likely to have at least three runners with Sevenna’s Knight given the green light to join the favourite Sosie and multiple Group One winner Mqse De Sevigne.
Prix du Jockey Club winner Look De Vega, Jean-Claude Rouget’s Delius and the Japanese challenger Shin Emperor all remain in the mix as does Joseph O’Brien’s Al Riffa.
The going for Arc weekend is expected to be very soft to soft, according to France Galop.
Light rain is forecast for Monday and Tuesday, it will then remain cloudy for the rest of the week before the weather picks up at the weekend.
Since the last meeting on September 15, a total of 40 millimetres of rain has fallen compared with 31mm last year.

- Auguste Rodin
- Luxembourg
