Golden Horn has been added to Sunday's Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp, with owner Anthony Oppenheimer stumping up the €120,000 fee as expected for the Derby, Eclipse and Irish Champion Stakes winner.

Also supplemented were Shahah, as a pacemaker for the hat-trick seeking Treve, and Spiritjim.

That means a field of 18 is likely for Europe’s most prestigious race.

John Gosden has taken out Jack Hobbs, but as well as Golden Horn he still has Eagle Top in the race.
