Aidan O'Brien has left in two major possibles for Saturday's QEII at Ascot, with Rip Van Winkle aiming to follow up his victory in the Juddmonte International at York on his penultimate start and Cape Blanco.
The latter was an impressive winner of the Irish Champion Stakes on 4 September.
Ballydoyle could also run last year's Dewhurst winner Beethoven, Windsor Palace, Air Chief Marshal and Steinbeck.
There were 14 possibles at the latest entry stage, including Canford Cliffs and Makfi . Added to the list is Poet's Voice at a cost of £20,000.
Godolphin's three-year-old bounced back to his best after a lacklustre start to the season when second in the Sovereign Stakes. He then won the Celebration Mile at Goodwood last month.
Dick Turpin, a stablemate of Canford Cliffs, was a notable absentee, while Mick Channon has decided against running his classy filly Music Show.
Godolphin have also left in Rio De La Plata, who appears to be running right up to his best form of late.
Mark Johnston has left in Awzaan, while Pat Eddery will be hoping Hearts Of Fire can bounce back after a below-par run at Salisbury.
Red Jazz could run for Barry Hills, but Bushman's participation is in doubt.
