Sprint Cup winner G Force and Irish superstar Sole Power are among 22 names confirmed at the latest stage for Sunday's Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp.
The former made a Group One breakthrough for trainer David O'Meara at Haydock, while this race is one of the few missing from the latter's impressive CV.
Defending champion Maarek is in the field for Evanna McCutcheon, along with familiar names through the season like Take Cover, Pearl Secret, Hot Streak and Moviesta.
Despite such a large field, there are only a handful of possible contenders from France itself - Rangali, Spirit Quartz, Son Cesio, Goken and Catcall.
