Confirmed runners and riders for York's Juddmonte International on Wednesday

Baaeed will take on five rivals in the Juddmonte International (3.35) as he steps up in trip on the opening day of York's Ebor festival on Wednesday, with the field reduced following Alenquer's withdrawal on Tuesday morning.

The unbeaten Shadwell-owned colt was one of three William Haggas-trained entries at the final declaration stage on Monday morning, and he is undoubtedly the star attraction for his first start beyond a mile in the £1 million 1m2½f feature.

Unbeaten in nine starts, Baaeed bids for a sixth successive Group 1 on what will be the four-year-old's first trip to the Knavesmire, where he will be partnered by Jim Crowley.

The pair will attempt to emulate Frankel, a decade after the legendary Juddmonte colt completed the Lockinge, Queen Anne, Sussex Stakes and Juddmonte four-timer.

Mishriff is seeking his first win of the season but has a decent chance of defending his crown if repeating his devastating performance 12 months ago. James Doyle, who rode the John and Thady Gosden-trained globetrotting star for the first time when third in the King George last month, continues in the saddle.

Mishriff was narrowly denied in the Coral-Eclipse on his first domestic start this year, although Native Trail was only a head behind that day at Sandown and the Irish 2,000 Guineas winner will attempt to reverse the form for William Buick and Charlie Appleby.

Aidan O'Brien has won the Juddmonte six times and will be represented solely by High Definition after Point Lonsdale's omission. Sir Busker and Haggas's third and final runner Dubai Honour complete the field with the pair stepping back up in grade after finishing one-two in the Sky Bet York Stakes over course and distance last month.

Appleby's Voltigeur challenge

Elsewhere on the card, Godolphin's Walk Of Stars and Secret State provide Charlie Appleby with a strong hand in the Group 2 Great Voltigeur Stakes (3.00).

Secret State steps into Group company for the first time having beaten some of his six rivals already this season, including the James Ferguson-trained Deauville Legend.

Ferguson is also represented by El Bodegon, the only Group 1 winner in the line-up, while Aidan O'Brien's Holding International Stakes winner Aikhal steps up in trip.
