Coronation Cup one-two St Nicholas Abbey and Dunaden could clash again in the Group One Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud on June 23.

St Nicholas Abbey ran out a comfortable three and three quarter length winner as he made history at Epsom but has rarely shown his best form in France where Dunaden is just one of 30 possible opponents.

Aidan O'Brien is responsible for three more entries with Friday's Saval Beg runner El Salvador joined by Chamonix and Imperial Monarch who enjoyed little luck in running in last year's French Derby before winning the Grand Prix de Paris.

Dunaden's trainer, Mikel Delzangles, is double handed with Vadamar a possible alternative to his globe-trotting stable companion.

Ed Dunlop could send Red Cadeaux and Joshua Tree on their travels while Andre Fabre, who has won two of the last three renewals, has a predictably strong hand with five entries.

Other notable runners include Cirrus Des Aigles, Main Sequence, Parish Hall, Universal and Willing Foe who was an impressive winner of the Aston Park Stakes on his reappearance.
