Michael Bell says Sariska will not be supplemented for Sunday's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp.

The filly had been expected to line up in Sunday's showpiece, but her Newmarket handler revealed that she'll miss the race and head instead for the Champion Stakes at HQ on October 17.

He told the Racing Post: "Sariska is not going to be supplemented. It's got to start to rain some time, so she is very much on target for the Champion Stakes."

Sariska stamped herself as a filly right out of the top drawer with impressive victories in both the English and Irish Oaks.

But she met defeat last time out when outpointed by Dar Re Mi in the Yorkshire Oaks on the Knavesmire.
