Frankel's team admit the threat he faces in the Qipco Champion Stakes will be his toughest test to date when he comes up against last year's winner Cirrus Des Aigles.
The prospect of soft ground at Ascot has put strains of fear into many of Frankel's huge army of followers, especially as the French raider is at home in testing conditions.
Whereas Frankel only ran for the first time over 10 furlongs in the Juddmonte International at York, Cirrus Des Aigles is as battle-hardened as they come - a fact which has not escaped Teddy Grimthorpe, owner Prince Khalid Abdullah's racing manager.

William Buick is expecting a big run from Elusive Kate in the Qipco-sponsored Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot.
The John Gosden-trained filly was only a length and a half behind Saturday's favourite Excelebration in third place in the Prix Jacques le Marois and was an unlucky second in the Sun Chariot Stakes on her latest start.
