The final confirmations and draw have been made for Sunday's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, but the field is down to 17 after Estrange was taken out.
David O'Meara's filly was drawn widest of all in stall 18 but was scratched on Thursday evening leaving 17 still standing in Sunday's feature.
Minnie Hauk fared better with the draw by bagging the inside stall 1 and Aidan O'Brien's three-year-old filly is now the outright 7/2 favourite with most firms.
Zarkava famously won from the same stall in 2008, while 18 of the past 23 winners have emerged from 8 or lower including 2024 victor Bluestocking, who came from stall 3.
Daryz was drawn in stall 2, with last year's fourth Sosie in 3 this time around and Alohi Alii stall 4. Alohi Alii is one of three Japanese runners in this year's field and the two others appeared to fare less well with the draw, Byzantine Dream - the mount of Oisin Murphy - getting gate 15 and Japan Derby winner Croix Du Nord having to defy stall 17.
Last year's runner-up runner-up Aventure is eight stalls deeper than last year having been handed 12.
Paddy Power reacted by pushing Croix Du Nord out to 10/1 from 8/1 and spokesperson Paul Binfield said: “Croix Du Nord was our only mover as a result of the draw as the Japanese raider will be facing the challenges of a car park berth in 17 which is a lot different to the small field that he faced when holding on tenaciously in the Prix du Prince d’Orange at the same venue last month."
