Freddy Head reports Solow to be in tip-top shape ahead of his clash with Hong Kong superstar Able Friend in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot on Tuesday.
Solow was a brilliant winner of the Dubai Turf at Meydan in late March and followed up with an equally stunning display in last month's Prix d'Ispahan at Longchamp.
Victory would provide trainer Head with a second victory in the Royal Ascot curtain-raiser following the magnificent mare Goldikova's triumph in 2010.
"He's very well, things couldn't be better and we'll see how good he is. It's his toughest task. He's never faced as many good horses, but we'll see what he's worth," he told At The Races.
John Moore's Able Friend is almost untouchable in his homeland and adds intrigue to what promises to be a thrilling contest for which eight horses have been declared.
Heading the home challenge are the Richard Hannon-trained duo of Night Of Thunder and Toormore, who were first and second in the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury.
Andre Fabre's mare Esoterique is a second French challenger, while Aidan O'Brien's Cougar Mountain is the sole Irish representative.
Kevin Ryan's Glory Awaits and Here Comes When from Andrew Balding's yard make up the eight.
Arod, Cable Bay and Rizeena were the three withdrawals at the final declaration stage.
