Idaho will break from stall 14 in the Japan Cup at Tokyo racecourse on Sunday.
The globetrotting four-year-old, winner of the Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot this summer, will attempt to claim a first Group One in his career when he goes for gold under Ryan Moore.
Idaho is reported in good order since his transfer to Japan, with the possibility of testing conditions not considered an issue by his connections.
Assistant trainer Thomas Comerford said: "Obviously the soft ground from what we've seen in Europe was one of his very good runs in the King George, a top-class run, and the ground was very bad that day.
"I really don't think that the ground is an issue and Ryan seems to think that the ground isn't his issue, either, so I wouldn't focus too much on ground because he seems to go on anything."
