Andrew Balding’s Mill Reef winner Array has joined eleven rivals at the five-day confirmation stage for the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes.

It will be the Juddmonte-owned colts first attempt at the seven-furlong trip and although there should be plenty more to come from him, he looks set to face some stiff competition with Aidan O'Brien confirming six contenders for the Group 1 prize.

There's no doubt all eyes will be on City Of Troy, who makes his first outing since creating a huge impression in the Superlative Stakes on the July Course earlier this season.

The unbeaten Henry Longfellow remains amongst the twelve confirmations with O'Brien also leaving in Henry Adams, Johannes Brahms, River Tiber and Unquestionable.

Charlie Hills' Iberian saw the form of his Champagne Stakes success boosted when Rosallion came out and blitzed his rivals in the Group 1 Qatar Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp towards the beginning of the month, while Alyanaabi did well to overcome trouble in running to land the Tattersalls Stakes at Newmarket last time.

Eben Shaddad and Haatem round out the list of twelve.

Elsewhere on the card, forty remain in the Club Godolphin Cesarewitch, with David Pipe's recent recruit and Bangor winner Wordsworth heading the weights.

Impressive Stonehenge Stakes winner Arabian Crown heads fourteen horses entered in the Group 3 Emirates Autumn Stakes. Others to note are impressive debut winners Orne and Ambiente Friendly, whilst Aidan O'Brien is responsible for six of the fourteen entries.

Sir Busker, Spirit Dancer, Knight, and Regal Reality all feature in the thirteen-strong field for the Group 3 Earthlight Darley Stakes.
