She won on debut at Yarmouth by six lengths in July and was a close third in the Listed Prix Saraca at Maisons-Laffitte last Wednesday.

Ikigai is out of Usem, an unraced daughter of Bahamian Bounty and Listed-winning sprinter Ripples Maid and thus a half-sister to Japanese Grade 3 scorer and Grade 1-placed Mikki Charm.

The Peter Schiergen-trained Kronprinz, meanwhile, will go under the hammer as lot 50.

The four-year-old son of Lord Of England was a four-length winner of the Group 3 Grosser Preis der Landeshauptstadt Dusseldorf at Dusseldorf on Sunday.

He is a brother to Group 3-placed King out of a Sholokhov half-sister to Listed winner Kartago.

Ikigai and Kronprinz join a catalogue of around 50 lots for the auction, which takes place at 6.30pm local time (5.30pm BST) on the eve of Enable's bid for a historic third victory in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
