Frankie Dettori will ride Cavalryman for Godolphin in the Juddmonte International at York on Tuesday, with Kieren Fallon on Cutlass Bay.
The pair are among the outsiders for the Group One event even though Cavalryman finished third to Sea The Stars in last year's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
"The horse needs to race, he's crying out for a run now," Godolphin racing manager Simon Crisford told At The Races.
"He had a disappointing run at Ascot (when last in the Prince Of Wales's Stakes), where he pulled a muscle coming out of the stalls and never got involved in the race.
"Prior to that he'd run very well in the Coronation Cup. He was a little bit unlucky not to make the frame.
"He needed to run pretty soon, so we've had him well entered up and we're just thinking the Juddmonte is probably the right race for him.
"He was third in the Arc last year, but we haven't seen that level of form since. He keeps it all up his sleeve and you don't ever see it at home.
"A lot of his work is just routine work. He's healthy, he's well in himself, he's fit and he'll run a good race."
