Freddy Head hailed Solow a "real champion" ahead of his bid to extend his Group One-winning sequence to five in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot on Saturday.
The dashing grey sprang to prominence when winning the Dubai Turf in March, after which he claimed the Prix d'Ispahan in May, the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot in June and the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood in July.
Solow, who has won 11 of his last 12 races, is set to go off the shortest-priced favourite of the afternoon on Qipco British Champions Day.
As a gelding, Head hopes the five-year-old continues racing for a few more seasons yet, which is why he has not been over-raced this year.
"He's had a few problems in the past - swollen joints and things like this - but nothing serious and that's why we gelded him," said the Chantilly handler.
"I always thought he was going to be a good horse, but he let us down a bit at the beginning of his three-year-old career, but I ran him over too far.
"It appears he's a real miler, which is very strange for his pedigree. Sometimes we think about it (stepping him up in trip), but I really think the mile is his distance. I don't think I'll run him over a longer distance.
"It (Ascot) will be his last start for the year. After the race he will go to the Wertheimers' stud for a few weeks before we think about Dubai again.
"He's a versatile, beautiful mover and is very easy to train.
"He's a real champion - he has everything."
His task could be made even easier if Aidan O'Brien withdraws Gleneagles.
The best miler of his generation, he has not run since Royal Ascot, having previously won the English and Irish Guineas.
Taken out of the Sussex Stakes just before declaration time, he also missed the Juddmonte International, the Prix Jacques le Marois and the Irish Champion Stakes as O'Brien felt the ground was too soft.
Coolmore's British representative Kevin Buckley said: "With the weather we've been dealt this year, it's been very difficult.
"We clearly know he is a much better horse on good to firm.
"I know he handled good to yielding in the Irish Guineas, and some people think that was one of his best performances to handle it the way he did."
If Gleneagles does not run, O'Brien intends to take him to Southwell for a gallop in preparation for the Breeders' Cup Classic on dirt.
One horse on a steep upward curve is Clive Cox's Kodi Bear, winner of three of his four runs this season since a setback in the spring forced him to miss the Guineas.
"He's a horse we've always held in high regard. I'm just delighted with the way he's progressed every step of the way," said Cox.
"He's been very convincing, albeit this is another step up and we're all respectful of the opposition, but we're going there with a happy feel.
"This was always the plan, we had Gerald (Mosse) on board earlier in the year and he knows a lot more about the horse now and hopefully that will be used to good effect.
"The ground will be on the easy side and that is fine.
"Solow is a serious horse, he's effective on the track, he's coming here fresh and we are full of admiration and respect for him - it looks a great race and I'm excited.
"We're drawn eight, we'll ride it how we feel it. I'm happy, he's in good form and Gerald knows what he's doing."
Andre Fabre's Territories was second to Gleneagles at Newmarket and had Kodi Bear behind him when winning the Prix Jean Prat in July. He was beaten by stablemate Esoterique in the Marois after that.
"I am very happy with Territories - his work has been good. He would prefer good ground but the straight course should not be as soft as the round course," said Fabre.
"He has not run since August but he is quite a light horse who does not need much work.
"Comparing the progress he and Gleneagles have made since they finished second and first in the 2000 Guineas is difficult because neither has run for a long time.
"What I would say is that Territories is quite a late foal - he was born almost four months after Gleneagles - so that might allow him to have made greater progress since the spring."
Andrew Balding runs Elm Park in this, rather than the Champion Stakes over 10 furlongs, as last year's Racing Post Trophy winner has been keen in his races this season.
"He is unbeaten in four career starts over a mile," said Balding.
"I have been very happy with him since his recent Sandown win and he appears to be in top form at home, although his home work had always been good."
Integral is not without a chance based on her form, with the absent Esoterique having just beaten her in the Sun Chariot.
This will be a swansong for Michael Stoute's mare as she heads off to the paddocks.
Gabrial and Top Notch Tonto, runner-up in 2013, represent the north of England but the two likeable performers have plenty to find on official figures.
The field is completed by last year's Dewhurst winner Belardo, who hinted at a return to form when third in the Challenge Stakes last week but looks to have stamina doubts over this stiff mile.
