The globe-trotting Red Cadeaux heads a field of nine declared for the Princess of Wales’s Stakes at Newmarket on Thursday.
The Ed Dunlop-trained six-year-old, placed in both the Melbourne Cup and Hong Kong Vase at the end of last year, again has the Australian race as his main objective.
However, he has been quite active on home soil this term, winning the Yorkshire Cup and finishing in the frame in the Coronation Cup and the Hardwicke Stakes.
Three horses who finished behind him in the latter event at Royal Ascot, Jakkalberry (fifth), Fiorente (sixth) and Quest For Peace (10th), are set to renew rivalry.
Jakkalberry’s trainer Marco Botti is also represented by Joshua Tree while the line-up is completed by Dandino, Harris Tweed, Modun and Sea Of Heartbreak.
