Aidan O’Brien is giving strong consideration to supplementing runaway Derby winner Serpentine for next Sunday’s Arc, which means he is likely to have a team of five taking on Enable, and he has booked a top-class collection of riders too.

Ryan Moore, unsurprisingly, will ride 6-4 favourite Love and Mickael Barzalona, Christophe Soumillon and former Irish champion Colin Keane have already been snapped up by O’Brien for Europe's most prestigious Flat race.

Moore and Soumillon have both won the Arc twice, but Barzalona and Keane will be in search of a first victory in the race.
