Shadow Of Light has been supplemented into Saturday's Darley Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket.
Charlie Appleby's charge was an impressive winner of the Juddmonte Middle Park Stakes at the track at the end of last month and now connections look like testing him out over a seventh furlong.
As expected stablemate and Superlative Stakes winner Ancient Truth also features among a possible field of eight.
Appleby said of Shadow Of Light on X: “The current plan is for him to join Ancient Truth and run on Saturday. We are very pleased with what we have seen so far from him, and feel that he has the potential to stretch out to seven furlongs.”
Aidan O'Brien holds a strong hand with five entries including Acomb hero The Lion In Winter who has been installed as even-money favourite by Paddy Power.
Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere winner Camille Pissarro stands his ground along with Aftermath, Expanded and Rock Of Cashel from Ballydoyle.
Hugo Palmer's National Stakes third Seagulls Eleven is the only other remaining in the race.
Paddy Power: Evens The Lion In Winter, 9/4 Shadow Of Light, 11/4 Ancient Truth, 10 Seagulls Eleven, 12 Camille Pissarro, 16 Aftermath, 20 Expanded, 33 Rock Of Cashel.
