Kodi Bear is odds-on to take Group Two honours in the Doom Bar Celebration Mile after just six horses were declared at Goodwood on Saturday.
Clive Cox's talented young performer did not mind some ease in the ground as he romped home by four and a half lengths in the Group Three Sovereign Stakes at Salisbury two weeks ago.
Kodi Bear, who only made his seasonal reappearance in June, is the only three-year-old in the line-up but is likely to take all the beating.
David Simcock's Breton Rock won the Hungerford Stakes last August when he made the most of his favoured soft surface and was a creditable third behind Adaay in this summer's renewal.
Charlie Hills relies upon Cable Bay, who was a length and a quarter behind Breton Rock when fourth in the Hungerford, after deciding not to declare Jersey Stakes scorer Dutch Connection.
The Richard Fahey-trained Gabrial has shown good form at the track, finishing third in the Sussex Stakes for the second time late last month, but was only sixth behind Mondialiste in the Strensall Stakes at York last weekend.
The Roger Charlton-trained Captain Cat and Fire Ship from William Knight's stable complete the sextet.
As well as Dutch Connection, the other withdrawals at the 48-hour stage were Balty Boys, Hors De Combat, Lightning Spear and Richard Pankhurst.
