Night Of Thunder is the star attraction among a final field of 18 declared for the Al Shaqab Lockinge Stakes at Newbury on Saturday.
Last year's 2000 Guineas hero, who was purchased by Godolphin earlier this year, is one of two runners in the mile contest for champion trainer Richard Hannon.
Hannon will also be represented by Toormore as he bids to record back-to-back victories in the Lockinge, having sent Olympic Glory out to victory 12 months ago.
Andrew Balding and David Simcock are also double-handed.
Flying the flag for Balding will be Here Comes When and last year's runner-up Tullius, while Newmarket handler Simcock will rely upon Breton Rock and Trade Storm.
Michael Stoute attempts to make it Lockinge victory number eight with dual Group One winner Integral, the sole mare in the race.
The fast-improving Custom Cut, trained by David O'Meara, will bid to bag a first win at the highest level, having scored in Group Two and Three company.
Marco Botti will be hoping Moohaarib can follow up his easy success at Listed level at Ascot last time out and confirm his superiority over the James Fanshawe-trained Hors De Combat.
Aljamaaheer, third in the race in 2013, is set to line up for trainer Roger Varian, while Roger Charlton will be hoping Captain Cat can better his midfield finish in Winter Derby and register a first victory since landing the Superior Mile at Haydock last September.
Cougar Mountain, the sole challenger from Ireland, will look to give Aidan O'Brien a first win in the race since Hawk Wing in 2003.
The field is completed by last year's Derby fourth Arod, trained by Peter Chapple-Hyam, Yuften (William Haggas), Master Carpenter (Rod Millman), Top Notch Tonto (Brian Ellison) and Cable Bay (Charlie Hills).
