O'Brien scratched the likes of Luxembourg, Paddington and Auguste Rodin, but left in Emily Dickinson, who was reported by the trainer on Sunday to be heading for the Prix Cadran on Saturday. He is expected to be supplemented to the race, at a cost of €120,000, on Wednesday. St Leger winner Continuous is set to fly the flag for Ireland in the Arc, potentially as Aidan O'Brien's sole runner. Last week, Frankie Dettori was leaning towards siding with Free Wind for his final ride in the Arc, with Emily Upjohn thought more likely to go for Champions Day or the Breeders' Cup. There was a notable omission at this week's first forfeit stage, however, with Emily Upjohn taken out of the race. The high-class pair head the British challenge for the Arc, which was boosted at the weekend when the Sir Michael Stoute-trained Bay Bridge was described as a likely runner. King George one-two Hukum and Westover remained on course to take on favourite Ace Impact in Sunday's Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe as the list of possible runners was whittled down to 15 on Monday.
