St Leger winner Scandinavia will face ten rivals when he bids to land another Group 1 success in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot on Thursday.
He has won his two warm-up races this spring and is hot favourite to give Aidan O’Brien a record-extending tenth victory in the race.
But the four-year-old faces another clash with Rahiebb, who was just a neck away in second place in the St Leger and who landed the Yorkshire Cup on the Knavesmire last month.
Jockey Ray Dawson is looking forward to the rematch and told the Racing Post last week: “Rahiebb looks great, he’s very strong and we’re going there hopeful.
“He’s matured mentally and the biggest positive from York was how much he enjoyed it. He raced very maturely and, if he can do that at Ascot, then hopefully he can be bang there.”
The 11-runner field declared on Tuesday also included Trawlerman, who won the Gold Cup last year and is out to become the first repeat winner since Stradivarius landed his third success in 2020.
Owners Godolphin also run Dubai Future, who beat Sweet William by a neck in the Henry II Stakes at Sandown last month.
