Just six runners will line up for Sunday's €600,000 G1 Cygames Grand Prix de Paris at ParisLongchamp after final declarations for the 12-furlong test were confirmed Friday morning.
Aidan O'Brien has five prior renewals in the books, some way shy of Andre Fabre's record 14, and relies on G1 Prix du Jockey Club fourth Trinity College (Dubawi), who was last seen annexing Royal Ascot's G3 Hampton Court Stakes. He will depart from stall five.
Jockey Club seventh Frankly Good Cen (Frankel) and 17th Leffard (Le Havre) reoppose from stalls six and one. Leffard's fellow supplementary entry Surabad (Bated Breath), added to the field for a fee of €15,000, has been allocated stall four. Henri-Francois Devin trainee New Ground (New Bay), fourth in the G1 Derby when last seen, gets the two stall.
Alain and Gerard Wertheimer registered a first victory in the race with Sosie (Sea The Stars) last year and his G3 Prix Noailles-winning half-brother Uther (Camelot) will exit from stall three.
Of the eight overnight contenders, Ballydoyle's G2 King Edward VII Stakes third Galveston (Frankel) and Listed Lingfield Derby Trial winner Puppet Master (Camelot) were not declared.
