Ireland will be two-handed in Sunday's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe after John Oxx confirmed that Irish Oaks winner Ebadiyla will join Oscar Schindler in the Longchamp Classic. Ebadiyla, who missed the Prix Vermeille and the Irish St Leger after muscle problems, pleased her trainer in a work-out on Saturday morning. Oxx said: "We are very happy with her and a change in the weather would help as she likes some cut in the ground." Oxx may also run the Galway Listed winner Aliya in the Prix de l'Eutece over the weekend.

Desert King still features among the Arc entries but trainer Aidan O'Brien describes the colt as an unlikely runner. He will instead most likely be aimed at the Dubai Champion Stakes at Newmarket.
