John Gosden's Queen Mary winner Maqaasid has to concede weight to 10 rivals in Wednesday's Lanwades Stud Nell Gwyn Stakes at Newmarket.
The Green Desert filly was behind Hooray on her next two starts after her Royal Ascot win in the Lowther Stakes at York and the Cheveley Park Stakes at Headquarters.
Just half a length adrift of Maqaasid at Ascot was Geoff Oldroyd's Ladies Are Forever, who subsequently came out and won Redcar's Listed Two-Year-Old Trophy, and she reopposes.
Peter Chapple-Hyam's Crying Lightening will have race fitness on her side having won at the Dubai Carnival.
Another who has already been in action this year is Aidan O'Brien's Sing Softly, winner of two races at the Curragh already this spring.
Richard Fahey's Barefoot Lady, Richard Hannon's Sweet Cecily and Paul Cole's Lily Again are other interesting contenders among the 11 runners.
Sweet Cecily has raced over five and six furlongs to date, but Hannon sees no reason why she will not stay further.
‘Sweet Cecily won the Bosra Sham Stakes over the course at the back-end and she steps up to seven furlongs for the Nell Gwyn. We see no reason why she should not stay the longer trip, and, like the others, she worked well on Sunday,’ Hannon told his website.
