Aidan O’Brien has suggested Continuous will be supplemented for the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe on Sunday and will head a strong Ballydoyle team heading to Longchamp.

The son of Heart's Cry has gone from strength to strength in the second part of the season, recording a historic win in the St Leger at Doncaster. The 'Arc' will be the colt's third run over twelve furlongs, having claimed the Group 2 Great Voltigeur Stakes at York and finished second in the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot.

"It's all about Continuous I'd say. Everything looks good with him at the moment and if it is good up until Wednesday, he'll probably be supplemented by the sound of what the lads are saying," said Aidan O'Brien.

"Fast or heavy ground, it doesn't matter to him – he has form on all ground.

"Emily Dickinson will go to the Cadran. Unquestionable, who reared up in the stalls here [at the Curragh] last time, will go for the two-year-old race over seven [Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere] and something might go with him.

"Opera Singer will go to the fillies' race [Prix Marcel Boussac]. Jackie Oh, who was second to Joseph's filly [Lumiere Rock] here last time, will go to the Prix de l'Opera.

"Kyprios won't go, it will be too quick for him and we'll give him time and go back to Ascot."

Continuous is currently available at 8/1 for the Longchamp showpiece, should he be supplemented.
