Chris Wall's stable stalwart Premio Loco will face six rivals as he bids to add to his Group-race tally in Friday's Nayef Joel Stakes at Newmarket.
The 12-time winner finally opened his account for 2011 with a determined victory in the Park Stakes at Doncaster earlier this month, but the one they would all have to beat if returning to last year's form is Godolphin's Poet's Voice.
Saeed bin Suroor's colt edged out Rip Van Winkle to land the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes this time last season, but now has something to prove following a disappointing return at Goodwood.
Bin Suroor also saddles Emerald Commander, while Glorious Goodwood winner Libranno is a player for champion trainer Richard Hannon.
The Sir Michael Stoute-trained Tazahum, Ransom Note from the Charlie Hills yard and likely rank outsider Karam Albaari complete the seven-runner line-up.
