Ballydoyle's Precise (Starspangledbanner) will face 18 peers in Sunday's G1 Betfred 1000 Guineas at Newmarket, with Ryan Moore set to partner the Moyglare Stud Stakes and Fillies' Mile winner for the first time.
She is drawn two for the mile Classic, with one of her chief rivals Venetian Sun (Starman) next door in stall one furthest away from the stands' rail. Tony Bloom and Ian McAleavy's Prix Morny winner is one of two in the race for Karl Burke, with her regular rider Clifford Lee maintaining the partnership.
Burke's other runner is Forz Europe's G3 Prix de la Grotte winner Evolutionist (Night Of Thunder), who breaks from stall five under Shane Foley, while Aidan O'Brien's second string is the Cheveley Park Stakes heroine True Love (No Nay Never) with Wayne Lordan drawn towards the stands' side in 16.
Godolphin's pair are the Andre Fabre-trained G2 Prix du Calvados winner My Highness (Ghaiyyath) under Oisin Murphy in stall nine and the Charlie Appleby-trained Kempton novice scorer Abashiri (Frankel) with William Buick in 14.
Others of note include David Ward's G2 Rockfel Stakes runner-up The Prettiest Star (Starman) for Ed Walker and Kieran Shoemark in stall four, Shadwell's G3 Fred Darling Stakes runner-up Touleen (Lope De Vega) for Owen Burrows and Saffie Osborne alongside in three, and David Noblett's shock G3 Nell Gwyn Stakes winner Azleet (Tasleet) for Stuart Williams and Marco Ghiani in stall 17.
The field, which has the potential to split, is completed by Jaber Abdullah's trio Rose Ghaiyyath (Ghaiyyath), Darn Hot Gallop (Too Darn Hot) and Timeforshowcasing (Showcasing), Quantum Leap Racing's Inis Mor (Galiway), Amo Racing's Domina Ignis (Pinatubo), ELB Bloodstock's Spicy Marg (Starspangledbanner), Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum's Venetian Lace (Masar), Sheikh Juma Dalmook Al Maktoum's Mubasimah (Frankel), Jastar Capital's Silenciosa (Blame) and Abdulla Al Mansoori's True Test (Time Test).
