Grey Swallow, the Irish Derby winner, is set to be supplemented at a cost of €60,000 on Thursday after being described as an intended runner by Dermot Weld for the Arc de Troimphe.
"Grey Swallow is an intended runner but he has to be supplemented. A final decision will be made later in the week," Weld said.
Weld has left in Vinnie Roe but the four-time Irish St Leger winner may wait for another crack at the Melbourne Cup. Aidan O'Brien has left in Acropolis.
The absence of Sulamani, runner-up in the 2002 running of the Group One, means that Godolphin only have Mamool left in the Longchamp showpiece.
Vodafone Derby hero and Oaks heroine North Light and Ouija Board lead the British challenge along with last year's runner up Mubtaker, who remains in the race although connections have yet to make a decision as to whether he will make the trip to Paris.
The other prospective travellers are Mick Channon's Imperial Dancer and the Richard Hannon-trained Nysaean.
The home challenge will be led by Valixir, Prospect Park and Bago, who finished first, second and third respectively in the Prix Niel over course and distance on Arc Trial day earlier this month, while Latice has stayed in but must improve on her disappointing performance in the Prix Vermeille.
Elie Lellouche, who landed the Arc in 1996 with Helissio, has four entries including top-class filly Vallee Enchantee and Prix Foy winner Policy Maker.
Top Japanese raider Tap Dance City also stood his ground despite earlier confusion that he would miss the race after his plane broke down in Mexico.
Also still in are Turkish challenger Grand Ekinoks and German Derby winner Shirocco.
The supplementary stage is on Thursday and Pascal Bary could add French Derby winner Blue Canari to the field.
The limit for the race is 20 runners, so some connections may face disappointment. The going at Longchamp was described as good with a penetrometer reading of 3.0.
