Convey has been in fine form at home so far this year, winning both the Winter Derby and the Easter Classic at Lingfield.

Stoute's assistant, Mark Westgate, said: "He's travelled really well – lovely. It's not easy being more than 24 hours door to door, but he's coped well and settled in now.

"His appetite was down a touch when he arrived but that's not abnormal, a bit like us having a touch of jet-lag. He's quite bright in himself now.

"He had his first canter this morning and was just out there to stretch his legs. He's fit having won two races on the all-weather at home this year and he'll likely just need one breeze-up later in the week."

Another British representative in the Group 1 contest is the Ed Walker-trained Stormy Antarctic.

The chestnut colt was narrowly beaten by Kool Kompany on his seasonal reappearance in last month's Doncaster Mile.

Deepak Gaikwad, assistant to Walker, said: "He's well. He'll have a gallop later in the week, maybe after Ed arrives. He'll have look at him and decide."
