Six became four in Saturday’s feature Coral-Eclipse with Luxembourg and Anmaat failing to declare this morning but the mouthwatering match between Paddington and Emily Upjohn still remains.
The Aidan O'Brien-trained Paddington has been well-supported in recent weeks on his first try over the ten-furlong trip.
The rapidly progressive son of Siyouni will be looking to complete a hat-trick of top-level successes following victories in the Irish 2000 Guineas and St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot.
John and Thady Gosden's Emily Upjohn will be looking to land the contest for Clarehaven Stable for the first time since Enable was successful in 2019.
The four-year-old has to concede 7lb to main market rival Paddington but looked ultra-impressive when landing the Coronation Cup at Epsom on her seasonal reappearance.
John and Thady Gosden's filly will be partnered by William Buick with regular rider Frankie Dettori on the sidelines.
Tom Marquand will be getting back onboard Dubai Honour for the first time since the pair finished third in the QEII Cup at Sha Tin in April as William Haggas' charge seeks a first Group 1 success on home soil.
Jamie Spencer will be hoping West Wind Blows can cause a shock and provide him with three Group 1 victories in the space of three weekends although Simon and Ed Crisford's runner looks to have a bit to find following a second-place finish in the Hardwicke Stakes.
Owen Burrows confirmed on Thursday morning that Anmaat, who was all set to take his chance in Saturday's Group 1, would miss the engagement due to an abscess developing on his foot.
