Last year's winner Magical Memory is among 15 confirmations for the Duke of York Stakes on the Knavesmire on Wednesday.
Charlie Hills' grey defeated Suedois by half a length to land the Group Two spoils 12 months ago and the David O'Meara-trained runner-up is also among the possible runners for the six-furlong feature.
The respective first three home in the Qipco British Champions Sprint – The Tin Man, Growl and Brando – could do battle again.
Growl is trained by Richard Fahey, who has also left in Kimberella, with Richard Hannon relying upon Cammidge Trophy winner Tupi.
Golden Shaheen runner-up Comicas is one of three Charlie Appleby-trained sprinters along with Baccarat and Jungle Cat, while William Haggas has Raucous and Tasleet under consideration.
Mobsta, Nameitwhatyoulike and Final Venture complete the list.
