The UK challenge is headed by Edward Bethell's Oviedo and the Archie Watson-trained He's A Monster.
The Alan Smurfit Memorial Beresford Stakes is also on Saturday's card and Aidan O'Brien, who won this Group 2 race last year with Luxembourg, bids for an amazing 22nd win in the mile event with Continuous and Adelaide River.
The first race on Saturday gets underway at 1.05pm, while racegoers can also enjoy a culinary feast both days with the Taste Of Kildare.
