Among his possible rivals are John Dunlop`s impressive John Porter Stakes winner Lucido and his Jockey Club Stakes winner, Millenary.

Fantastic Light, last year`s Emirates World Series winner, is one of 10 entries from Godolphin.

There is an international feel to the 89 entries in the Ribblesdale Stakes, with the list including eight from France and 13 from Ireland.

Sunday`s 1000 Guineas heroine Ameerat is a possible runner, along with Her Majesty The Queen`s Flight of Fancy, a leading contender for the Vodafone Oaks.

Vodafone Derby-bound 2000 Guineas winner Golan is among the 11 entries for the King Edward VII Stakes, along with yesterday`s Chester Vase winner Mr Combustible and American entry River God.
