Hawk Wing heads a total of 44 horses left in the Coral Eurobet Eclipse Stakes at Sandown on July 6th.
Aidan O`Brien`s talented three-year-old has twice finished runner-up in British Classics this season and was rated a most unlucky loser when racing on the unfavoured side of the track in the Sagitta 2000 Guineas, just failing to cut down stablemate Rock Of Gibraltar by a neck.
He then nearly defied his doubters when bravely attempting to stretch his stamina to the mile and a half of the Vodafone Derby only to find stablemate High Chaparral too strong in the last furlong.
But the 10-furlong trip of the Eclipse should be ideal and the son of Woodman is one of 16 Ballydoyle possibles still in the Stg£325,000 Group One event, along with Rock Of Gibraltar and High Chaparral, who is expected to have his next start in the Budweiser Irish Derby at the Curragh a week on Sunday.
2001 Guineas winner Golan is one of four representatives for Sir Michael Stoute, who took this with Medicean in a thrilling finish last season.
Stiute also has Scottish Classic winner Carnival Dancer, Craven Stakes winner King Of Happiness, and No Excuse Needed, winner of the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot on Tuesday.
Medicean just got up to beat the then James Fanshawe-trained Grandera, who is now with Godolphin.
And he is one of nine hopefuls for Sheikh Mohammed`s team, which also includes Sakhee, winner of the Juddmonte International and Prix de l`Arc de Triomphe last season.
Marcus Tregoning could be double-handed with Dubai Champion Stakes winner Nayef and Mubtaker, while Henry Cecil relies on High Pitched.
