Racing: Hurricane Run tops a list of eight horses confirmed for Saturday's King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes at Ascot.
If taking his chance in the Group One contest, last season's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe hero will be trying to bounce back from an unexpected eclipse at Saint-Cloud last month and emulate his brilliant sire Montjeu, who ran away with the 2000 renewal.
Andre Fabre's French raider is set to be the only runner for the powerful Coolmore operation as Aidan O'Brien has taken out all of his entries including Irish Derby winner Dylan Thomas.
Godolphin have enjoyed success in the contest no fewer than five times since 1995 and they are responsible for three entries headed by Electrocutionist, who finished second in last month's Prince of Wales's Stakes at the Royal meeting.
He could be joined by stablemates Belenus and Cherry Mix in the £750,000 showpiece event.
Japanese raider Heart's Cry is a fascinating contender having taken the notable scalp of Deep Impact before running out an emphatic winner of the Dubai Sheema Classic in March.
The list of possibles is completed by Hardwicke Stakes winner Maraahel, Mark Johnston's Soapy Danger and the William Muir-trained Enforcer. If lining up, the latter pair will be renewing rivalry after finishing first and third in the Princess of Wales's Stakes at Newmarket last time.
