Frankel will be joined by defending champion and stablemate Twice Over as owner Khalid Abdullah goes all out to land the Juddmonte International at York next week.
The Knavesmire Group One is understandably close to the heart of Juddmonte Farms owner Abdullah, having sponsored the race for over two decades.
He tasted victory in the 10-furlong contest for the first time 12 months ago, with Twice Over narrowly getting the better of fellow Abdullah-owned and Henry Cecil-trained runner, Midday.
While Frankel will clearly be red-hot favourite as he aims to maintain his unbeaten record stepping up beyond a mile for the first time, the owner's racing manager, Teddy Grimthorpe, feels Twice Over deserves his place alongside the world's highest-rated horse.
"This is Prince Khalid's 22nd year of sponsoring the Juddmonte International so to bring Frankel to the race is hugely important to him," said Grimthorpe.
"I don't think the step up to 10 furlongs will be a concern. In his early days he used to get carried away with his phenomenal stride but under Sir Henry Cecil's guidance he has learnt to settle better and better.
"He has built up a good relationship with Tom (Queally) and they respect each other. Tom says 'Go' to Frankel now - not the other way around.
"You dream about horses like Frankel. It is a wonderful to take him to York and I am confident that the Yorkshire crowd will come to see him.
"Twice Over is the defending champion so it makes sense to run."
Fears serious opposition to Frankel may be thin on the ground appear to be easing.
Only on Sunday Aidan O'Brien revealed the race was a likely option for dual Coronation Cup winner St Nicholas Abbey.
Frankel was reported in great shape as he went through his paces in the pouring rain up Warren Hill in Newmarket this morning.
O'Brien said the York race had always been in his mind for St Nicholas Abbey, who has only run twice at the 10-furlong trip in his 15-start career.
The Montjeu five-year-old was last seen finishing third to Danedream over a mile and a half in the King George at Ascot, beaten less than two lengths.
While Frankel has eight Group One successes to his name, St Nicholas Abbey also boasts impressive credentials, having won no fewer than four Group One races himself.
O'Brien said: "The Juddmonte was always going to be one of the races that St Nic could run in.
"We were happy with his run in the King George. He relaxed, travelled and quickened really well.
"He had a little bit of a break after the King George and seems well at the moment.
"We've always thought the world of him - he is a very exciting horse. And we still think he is on the upgrade.
"We're looking forward to seeing him run at York - and watching Frankel. Frankel is a great horse and it's just a privilege to see him run, really."
Also set to take on Frankel in the richest race ever to be staged on the Knavesmire will be Farhh, who was six lengths behind him in the Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood two weeks ago.
He will, however, have an alternative York entry and Simon Crisford, racing manager to Godolphin, is under no illusions about the size of the challenge facing the Pivotal colt in the £725,000 showdown.
He said: "Frankel is the best horse in the race by a long, long way and if he runs to his form then he will win.
"But Farhh is in good form. We will weigh up the options and he will also get an entry in the Sky Bet Strensall Stakes (24 August)."
Looking to other races at York, O'Brien said Harrison's Cave was the intended Ballydoyle runner in the £225,000 Ebor - Europe's richest Flat handicap - while Investec Oaks heroine Was is an intended runner in the Darley Yorkshire Oaks.
