The Aga Khan Studs Prix Jacques le Marois, which takes place on August 16, has attracted 34 entries, including four from Japan.
Embroidery is Japan's leading four-year-old filly over a mile and heads that list. A winner of this season's G1 Victoria Mile, Japan's Spring Championship for fillies over the mile, the daughter of Admire Mars had already established herself among the country's best fillies in 2025 after winning both the G1 Oka Sho (Japanese 1,000 Guineas) in the spring and the G1 Shuka Sho in the autumn.
She adds a deep international flavour to a race that has attracted 12 entries from Great Britain, nine from France and the same number from Ireland.
The roll of honour for the Jacques le Marois features some all-time greats like Miesque, Dubawi, Goldikova, Kingman, Palace Pier and more recently Inspiral.
