Montjeu, last year's leading middle-distance performer, heads the 57 entries for the Coral-Eclipse Stakes unveiled today.
Last year's Arc de Triomphe winner is one of three fascinating French-trained entries for the £300,000 Group One contest along with crack miler Sendawar and Indian Danehill, who took the Group One Prix Ganay last month.
Gerard Butler, who saddled Compton Admiral to win the race last year for main patron Erik Penser relies upon Compton Bolter, a fine fifth in last week's Sagitta 2000 Guineas, this time.
His Newmarket conqueror Kings Best is also in the list, as is runner-up Giant's Causeway and third-placed Barathea Guest.
The Sandown race takes place this year on July 8th.
