Royal Anthem heads a total of 86 horses including four from Britain nominated for this year's running of the Audemars Piguest QEII Cup in Hong Kong on April 16th.
Last season's Juddmonte International Stakes winner, formerly with Henry Cecil, is now in the care of Bill Mott in the United States.
Royal Anthem, who landed a Grade One event at Gulfstream Park, Florida, earlier this year, is currently having a short break from training after suffering a slight setback.
The well-travelled Yavana's Pace from Mark Johnston's Middleham yard heads the British-trained quartet which is made up of Clive Brittain-trained Pegnitz, David Elsworth's Lear Spear and Paul Cole's Lady In Waiting.
The Francois Doumen-trained Jim And Tonic, winner of the QEII Cup in 1999 and two other major prizes in Hong Kong, is among this year's nominees.
Other nominations from Europe include the Group One winners from Germany Caitano and Elle Danzig.
Entries from the UAE are headed by the 1998 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Sagamix.
