ITV Racing tips: one key runner from each of the Group 1 races at Longchamp

1.15 Longchamp
Qatar Prix Marcel Boussac, 1m, Group 1 (ITV)

Raclette was declared a non-runner on Sunday, leaving Andre Fabre-trained stablemates Zellie and Fleur D'Iris to fly the flag. Among their opposition is the Joseph O'Brien-trained Agartha.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Zellie

Second to stablemate Fleur D'Iris over C&D last month, coming from difficult position

Qatar Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere, 7f, Group 1 (ITV)

The Jean-Luc Lagardere is France's most prestigious juvenile race and British interest is headed by Phoenix Stakes winner and National Stakes third Ebro River. Coolmore's Ancient Rome has won his last three starts while Noble Truth looks another potential top-notch juvenile for Godolphin.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Accakaba

Won fillies' Group 2 at Deauville and can give the colts plenty to think about today

2.25 Longchamp
Qatar Arabian World Cup, 1m2f, Group 1 (ITV)

The calm before the storm of the Arc is this Arab race worth almost £450,000 to the winner. French trainer Thomas Fourcy is responsible for eight of the 15 entrants, including Lady Princess who will be the mount of Oisin Murphy.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Lady Princess

Shown the ability to quicken up in these conditions and is well drawn

Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, 1m4f, Group 1 (ITV)

The 100th running of arguably the world's greatest Flat race has a cast to match the occasion in what should be a race for the ages. The Classic generation is well represented by top-class Godolphin duo Adayar and Hurricane Lane as well as runaway Oaks winner Snowfall, while Tarnawa has been aimed at this race all year.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Adayar

Scintillating wins in the Derby and King George; outstanding 3yo who is the one to beat

3.50 Longchamp
Prix de l'Opera Longines, 1m2f, Group 1

Audarya finished third in this race last year for trainer James Fanshawe before going on to score at the Breeders' Cup, and she does not have Tarnawa in opposition this time as she bids for a third Group 1. Prix de Diane winner Joan Of Arc drops back in trip after a disappointing display in the Prix Vermeille.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Palmas

3-3 in Germany, storming 6l clear in the 1m3f German Oaks last time; very promising

Prix de l'Abbaye de Longchamp Longines, 5f, Group 1

2019 winner Glass Slippers is looking to regain her Abbaye crown after finishing second to Wooded last year but faces stiff competition in King George Qatar Stakes winner Suesa, who enjoyed a great summer in Britain and could establish herself as the new dominant force of the sprinting division.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Berneuil

Powered clear for impressive success in C&D Group 3 last month; interesting

5.00 Longchamp
Qatar Prix de la Foret, 7f, Group 1

British-trained runners have won the Foret for the last five years and appear well placed to strike again with Godolphin's Space Blues a near unstoppable force at seven furlongs. Kinross gives Frankie Dettori the chance to end his Arc weekend on a high while the home charge is led by Sagamiyra, who won a course-and-distance Group 3 in September.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Sagamiyra

Went close in the Group 1 Prix Rothschild before tidy win in C&D Group 3; on the shortlist
