Confirmed runners and riders for the Cambridgeshire plus Saturday's Group 1s at Newmarket
The River Tiber-Vandeek rematch in Saturday's Middle Park Stakes (3.00) is on after the pair were declared for the Newmarket Group 1 on Thursday morning.
They clashed in the Prix Morny and Vandeek emerged on top with River Tiber back in third, although his preparation for that contest had been interrupted.
Other leading Middle Park fancies Jasour and Task Force also line up in the nine-strong field.
Rossa Ryan is set to ride Task Force, a recent Ripon winner, and said: "He has done everything right so far and his Listed race at Ripon is working out really well.
"Quite a lot impressed me about him the last day as his win didn't really feel like a race. It felt more like a piece of work as he was doing it that easily.
"I know this is a massive leap forward into a Group 1, but he has done everything right and you can't fault him in any manner.
"He has a very good cruise control and hopefully he can use that at the weekend. As to what his best attribute is I don't know yet, but hopefully he will answer a few of those questions on Saturday."
Newmarket also hosts the Juddmonte Cheveley Park Stakes (2.25) on Saturday, with 13 fillies set to do battle in the 6f Group 1.
They include ante-post favourite Relief Rally, who might not have things all her own way with Jasna's Secret, Soprano and Porta Fortuna in opposition.
Tom Marquand is, however, looking forward to partnering Relief Rally, successful in the Weatherbys Super Sprint at Newbury before landing the Lowther.
"She has been foot perfect all season," he said. "She is a little battler and has the ability to go with it, which is great.
"I'm looking forward to the weekend as it would be her big opportunity to get a well-deserved Group 1 on the board.
"Realistically, she probably has to take another little step forward as there are other fillies who will be progressing at the end of the year, but it is a step, not a leap.
"She has been super versatile everywhere we have gone with her. The way she has done everything else I can’t imagine the track will be a problem.
"If she takes a small step forward she should be putting up a big performance and that should be enough to win."
A top card at Newmarket also features the bet365 Cambridgeshire (3.40), which has attracted a full 35-runner field and includes longtime fancy Greek Order and Astro King, who heads the weights.
