Frankel will face a maximum of nine rivals when he switches up to a mile and a quarter for the first time in Wednesday's Juddmonte International at York.
Sir Henry Cecil's incredible colt will step onto the famous Knavesmire turf unbeaten in 12 starts and officially the highest rated racehorse in the world, where he is set to be joined by his regular pacemaker and three-parts brother Bullet Train, as well as his stablemate Twice Over, who won this prestigious Group One prize 12 months ago.
Frankel's main danger is surely the Aidan O'Brien-trained St Nicholas Abbey. A dual winner of the Coronation Cup at Epsom and a four-time Group One scorer in all, the five-year-old got going all too late when only third in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot.

Sir Henry Cecil's duo Thomas Chippendale and Noble Mission feature among 11 confirmations for the Neptune Investment Management Great Voltigeur Stakes at York on Wednesday.
The stable companions fought out a thrilling finish to the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot, with Thomas Chippendale on that occasion winning the argument by half a length, but he will have to concede weight to each of his opponents on the Knavesmire and Noble Mission has since gone on to success at Glorious Goodwood.
