The rematch between Ruling Court and Field Of Gold remains on after the pair featured among 11 entries for Tuesday’s St James’s Palace Stakes.

The Goldolphin colt came out on top when the pair met in the Betfred 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, Field Of Gold finishing powerfully in second. He’s since run out an impressive winner of the Irish 2,000 Guineas.

Newmarket third Shadow Of Light also remains in the race for the Charlie Appleby team alongside Heron Stakes winner Opera Ballo, while French 2000 Guineas hero Henri Matisse features alongside Officer for Aidan O’Brien.

Jonquil, narrowly touched off in the Poule d'Essai des Poulains and Windlord, stand their ground for Andrew Balding and Juddmonte with Rashabar and Scorthy Champ completing the possible field.

Sardinian Warrior provides John Gosden and Thady Gosden with a powerful string to their bow, while Australian raider Carl Spackler was supplemented into the race for the Ciaron Maher team.
