Arc Entries: 18 left in at Longchamp

Nathaniel is prominent in the Arc betting.
18 horses remain in contention for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, although 2012 heroiune Danedream has been officially scratched from the race...
News broke on Monday evening that Cologne racecourse, where Peter Schiergen's fantastic mare is stabled, was to be dramatically placed into quarantine.
The German track has been shut down for three months after a horse tested positive for a serious equine infection of the blood.
All horses based at Cologne cannot leave the racecourse, including Danedream, a brilliant winner of the Longchamp feature 12 months ago.
France Galop's media manager Julien Pescatore said: "There is a quarantine period of 90 days, and for that reason Danedream will not be able to run in the Arc.
"It is really sad that she will not be able to run, but there is nothing we can do about it."
Japanese challenger Orfevre, winner of the Prix Foy last month, was also among those left in Europe's premier middle-distance race following the latest scratchings stage.
Nathaniel, runner-up to Danedream in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot in July, similarly remains on course for Paris.
Camelot appears to be heading the challenge of Aidan O'Brienalthough he could also be represented Imperial Monarch, St Nicholas Abbey, Ernest Hemingway and Robin Hood.
Andre Fabre, who already has seven Arc victories to his name, has two representatives in Prix Foy runner-up Meandre and Masterstroke, owned by Godolphin's French section.
The Aga Khan's Shareta, who was second to Danedream 12 months ago, showed her well-being when winning the Prix Vermeille over the course and distance recently.
Her trainer Alain de Royer-Dupre also has Reliable Man in the mix.
Sir Michael Stoute's Sea Moon, carrying the Frankel colours of owner Khalid Abdullah, is also in the shake-up.
The others are Mikhail Glinka, Aventino, Haya Landa, Solemia, Kesampour and Yellow And Green.
