Alamshar could face Balestrini again here as the colt is one of 15 entries from the Aidan O’Brien yard.
The Ballydoyle maestro has also entered Alberto Giacometti, who was third in the Ballysax, Brian Boru and Some Kind Of Tiger.
His strong possible challenge also includes Arundel, Catcher In The Rye, Dalcassian, Delacroix, Fontanes, France, Gianfanti, Handel, Meadow Hawk, Roosevelt and The Great Gatsby.

Mark Tompkins' Franklins Gardens and the Barry Hills-trained Gala Sunday, first and second respectively in the Blue Riband Trial Stakes at Epsom last time, could renew rivalry here.
Sir Michael Stoute has entered Kris Kin while the entries are completed by Foodbroker Founder, Le Me Try Again, Rainwashed Gold, Summerland and Titurel.
The Bet attheraces on 0800 083 83 83 Oaks Trial has a possible 13 runners.

Shanty Star is not a certain starter in the Derby Trial as Johnston today revealed the horse has suffered a minor setback in training.
The Hector Protector colt was lame after winning at Catterick due to pulling a shoe off and he then missed further work after developing an abscess on his toe.
His Middleham handler is also worried about how he would handle the track.
Johnston said: "He's in at Lingfield on Saturday but we're not sure whether it would suit him as well as Bandari."
