Both Aidan O'Brien and William Haggas will be represented in Tuesday's Grand Prix de Paris.
British & Irish challengers will account for more than half of the seven-strong field when runners go down to post at Longchamp, with Joseph O'Brien and Charlie Johnston also bidding for glory in the 12 furlong feature contest.
Derby runner-up Maltese Cross is aiming to give Haggas a maiden triumph in the race after finishing well behind Christmas Day at Epsom last month. The Newmarket-based trainer saddled Storm The Stars to finish third in the 2015 renewal that was won by Erupt.
Of his opponents, Maltese Cross will chart a path across the channel with a fellow Derby runner in Ancient Egypt.
He was much better than the Amo-owned colt at Epsom on the day, finishing some 10 lengths ahead of him, however, he bounced right back to form with brilliant effort in defeat at Royal Ascot.
His neck second in the King Edward VII Stakes came behind Causeway and the Ballydoyle inmate will reoppose in the French capital. The likes of Mogul, Japan and Kew Gardens have provided Aidan O'Brien with five victories in this race down the years and his latest star looks to have a real chance on paper.
Limestone, another Royal Ascot winner, this time trained by Aidan's son, Joseph, also has strong claims.
The New Bay colt just hung on from a charging Del Maro in the Queen's Vase at the Berkshire track and now drops down in trip in search of a breakthrough at the very top level.
