Barney Roy is the narrow 3/1 favourite for the Juddmonte International at Sky Bet as he looks set for another battle with Ulysses at York on Wednesday week.
The Coral-Eclipse principals are on course to clash again in what is shaping up to be a fantastic renewal of the Group One contest.
The Sir Michael Stoute-trained Ulysses, 7/2 second-favourite with Sky Bet, edged out Richard Hannon's three-year-old colt by a nose in Sandown's 10-furlong showpiece and connections have confirmed both horses will head to the Knavesmire, where the opposition could include dual Guineas winner Churchill.
Barney Roy is reported in top shape ahead of a rematch with his Sandown conqueror.
"I'm very happy with him and we're all set for York," Hannon told At The Races.
"It was a fantastic run in the Eclipse. It proved that he gets the trip and that he's tough.
"Hopefully he can go to York and make amends."
Ulysses will be dropping back in trip after finishing second to Enable in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot on his latest start.
Alan Cooper, racing manager for owners the Niarchos family, said: "Michael said on Monday he worked very nicely in the morning and the plan, all being well, is to go for the Juddmonte on Wednesday week.
"The long-term objective this year is the Breeders' Cup Turf again."
