The Queen Anne looks like being race of the week at Royal Ascot 2010 and Paco Boy's team are in confident mood.
Dual Breeders' Cup Mile heroine Goldikova and Sussex Stakes winner Rip Van Winkle are preparing to take on the apple of Richard Hannon's eye in what should be a thriller.
Hannon Jnr admits Paco Boy still has it to prove against opponents of that calibre, but believes if he is ever going to do so, then it will be this year.
He said:"Goldikova is very good and she'll be very hard to beat. She is a champion and Paco Boy is not at that status yet, but he does seem better this year than ever."
In the St James' Palace, Hill make another Hannon star, Canford Cliffs favourite to take revenge on French raider Makfi, who brushed him aside in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket.
Last year's Coventry Stakes winner finally got it right when bolting up in the Irish 2000 Guineas.
Hannon Jnr said:"He came home so well at Newmarket I was a little bit disappointed he didn't win that day.
"He'd had a prep run and there was no issue with the trip so it was maybe the dip that beat him. We're taking on the winner again but we still fancy him."

Ladbrokes slashed French Derby runner-up Planteur to 16-1 from 25s for the Arc and spokesman David Williams explained: "Lope De Vega seems unlikely to get the Arc trip so we've taken the runner-up Planteur out of the race and suspect he is capable of better later this year."
Michael Bell reckons Sariska is in for a lucrative campaign after her great run in the Coronation Cup. Last season's dual Oaks winner found only the brilliant Fame And Glory too good in a vintage renewal.
Bell said: "She ran a huge race, but just came up short against a very good horse on the day. We've got some big targets ahead but I have to have a proper chat with her owner."
Haljaferia is worth the wait in the last at Salisbury. The son of Halling bounced back to form at HQ recently in an amateur race and the booking of Fallon looks interesting.
