The choice of Richard Hannon's jockey Richard Hughes over stablemate Kool Kompany, Ivawood was impressive in both the July Stakes and then the Richmond at Glorious Goodwood.

Kool Kompany, who will be having his ninth start in a successful campaign, has Ryan Moore booked for his first appearance in the colours of the Kool Kompany Partnership, who bought him from Middleham Park.

A couple of juveniles travel over from Ireland, through the Ger Lyons-trained Group Three winner and Coventry Stakes runner-up Cappella Sansevero, and Aidan O'Brien maiden The Warrior.

Jungle Cat, who has chased home Ivawood on two occasions this term, lines up again along with Muhaarar, his conqueror in the Gimcrack at York.
