2019 G1 Investec Derby hero Anthony Van Dyck (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) has been scratched from the latest round of forfeits for Sunday's G1 Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and is instead possible for the Breeders' Cup. The Aidan O'Brien runner was not certain to compete if the ground was not good or firm, and 5 1/2mm of rain has fallen in the past 24 hours resulting in soft ground as of Wednesday. This leaves the Arc field at an even dozen as Juddmonte's Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) attempts to win the historic race for the third year running. O'Brien still has MG1SWs Japan (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) and Magical (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) signed on for Coolmore. Some of the other runners include Ghaiyyath (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) for Godolphin and G1 QIPCO Prix du Jockey Club hero Sottsass (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) runs Peter Brant's White Birch Farm.
Claudio Marzocco's MGSP Soft Light (Fr) (Authorized {Ire}) was a late supplementary entry at €120,000 on Wednesday. Yutaka Take has the call.
