Limato stormed to victory in last season's July Cup at Newmarket before going on to another impressive win for trainer Henry Candy in the Prix de la Foret at Chantilly.
Alice Springs also scored at the top level at Newmarket's July meeting in 2016, landing the mile Falmouth Stakes, and the four-year-old filly returned to the Suffolk course in October to take the Sun Chariot Stakes on the Rowley Mile course.
Her trainer Aidan O'Brien is responsible for eight contenders in the £300,000 seven furlong contest on the opening day of the Qatar Goodwood Festival, with St James's Palace Stakes runner-up Lancaster Bomber and Spirit Of Valor, second in the Jersey Stakes, also entered.
In another boost to the Qatar Goodwood Festival's international profile, three-year-old Bound For Nowhere, fourth in the six-furlong Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot last week, could be a first Goodwood runner for US trainer Wesley Ward, who is likely to enter several of his Ascot runners across the week.
Godolphin have taken the last two renewals of the Qatar Lennox Stakes with Toormore (2015), now in the care of Charlie Appleby, having formerly been with Richard Hannon, and the Charlie Hills-trained Dutch Connection (2016). Both horses could bid to become only the second dual winner of the race after Nayyir, successful in 2002 and 2003.
A total nine Godolphin contenders also includes last year's runner-up Home Of The Brave (Hugo Palmer), plus the John Gosden-trained pair of Richard Pankhurst and Laugh Aloud, who was a non-runner at Royal Ascot after an impressive win in the Group Three Princess Elizabeth Stakes at Epsom.
Al Jazi (Francois Rohaut) has winning form at Goodwood's premier meeting already. The four-year-old Canford Cliffs filly, owned by Al Shaqab Racing, landed the seven-furlong L'Ormarins Queens Plate Stakes last summer.
She has made two appearances so far in 2017, winning on her return in a Listed contest at Maisons-Laffitte in April before finishing ninth, beaten five lengths, in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes.
Rohaut commented: "The plan is to bring Al Jazi back to Goodwood for the Qatar Goodwood Festival. She won well there last year, so we have entered her in the Qatar Lennox Stakes and will also enter her again in the L'Ormarins Queens Plate Stakes.
"She ran well at Royal Ascot. The trip was a bit sharp for her and she will enjoy stepping back up to seven furlongs.
"She is programmed to go to Goodwood now. She has come out of Royal Ascot in good form and looks well. I am very happy with her."
Tasleet (William Haggas) and Librisa Breeze (Dean Ivory) may step up in trip after finishing second and fourth respectively in the Diamond Jubilee.
Ten-year-old sprinter Take Cover, who was fifth in the King's Stand Stakes at Ascot last week, is set to bid for a third victory in the King George Stakes on August 4.
Trainer David Griffiths said: "The plan now is to take in a race before we go to Goodwood.
"The City Walls Stakes at York, which he won a couple of years ago, could be an option as that would tie in nicely with going to Goodwood.
"It would be nice for him to be the first triple winner of the King George Stakes."
Muthmir, the winner in 2015, could bid to regain his crown.
Profitable, Marsha and Brando also feature among 24 contenders.
