Aidan O'Brien is set to send a sizeable team to France this weekend, with no less than seven Group 1s down for decision at ParisLongchamp.

The Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe is of course the weekend highlight on Sunday, with four O'Brien representatives still engaged in this prestigious contest.

While Wingspan and Ylang Ylang are both entered in the Sun Chariot at Newmarket on Saturday, they are likely to bypass that engagement in favour of a trip France.

When asked about the Newmarket entry, stable representative Chris Armstrong said: "At the moment I think the whole lot of them might go to the Prix de l'Opera. That is the plan at the moment, now it could change depending on the ground overnight.

"There's three of them in the Prix de l'Opera - Content, Ylang Ylang and Wingspan. We could run all three.

"I'd say we are probably looking at maybe six runners in Paris on Saturday and probably 10 on Sunday."
