Connections of Dartmouth are optimistic he can take another step forward and build on his first victory at Pattern-race level in the Boodles Diamond Ormonde Stakes at Chester.
After establishing a solid record in handicap and Listed company last season, the Sir Michael Stoute-trained four-year-old took a rise in class in his stride when making a winning reappearance in the Group Three John Porter Stakes at Chelmsford.
Although forced to carry a 3lb penalty as a result of that victory, expectations are high the son of Dubawi, who is owned by the Queen, can have a major say in the outcome of the race.
Her Majesty's racing manager John Warren said: "He is looking a big improver this year and has developed into quite an important four-year-old.
"We were happy with his performance at Chelmsford and we are hopeful he can build on that. I think all the ducks are in a row.
"Like all these horses, we are still on a learning curve of their ability and it is another step forward into finding out how far he can go.
"I think he is versatile enough to come back to a mile and a half, but I see no reason why he won't get a mile and three-quarters. He is a horse that is in that window."
Despite not being seen since finishing third in the Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle in November, talented dual-purpose performer Wicklow Brave is out to make his presence felt, with the one-mile-five-furlong trip expected to be ideal.
Patrick Mullins, assistant trainer to his father Willie, said: "It is his first run back this year. It looked like he didn't stay at Royal Ascot (Queen Alexandra Stakes) but it might be a bit hard judging him on one race.
"This shorter trip should suit. Although it is his first run of the season, he is ready to go otherwise we would not have sent him over.
"I think the ground and track should be fine. We didn't race him on the heavy ground over the winter as we wanted to keep him fresh for a Flat campaign this year.
"We thought he could win a couple of good Flat races and be similar to Max Dynamite. I imagine all things being well we would look at Royal Ascot and maybe the Irish St Leger later on."
While most are in favour of the drying conditions, trainer Tom Dascombe is doing his best rain dance in order to give Cymro every chance of following up his impressive win off top weight in a handicap at Thirsk.
Dascombe said: "Unfortunately the ground has gone against us. We are desperately doing a rain dance, but it is not working. We know that he is much better on softer ground.
"To win a race like he did last time out from top weight, you have to be a Group-class horse. He is a course winner so we know he will handle the track.
"I will speak to the owner and see if he wants to run. If he doesn't there will be another day for him."
With Elidor possessing a mark of 106, trainer Mick Channon believes that his hand, in some ways, has been forced in starting the six-year-old off in the Group Three event as opposed to in a handicap.
Channon said: "Elidor is a bonny horse that has done us proud. As he is rated 106 he cannot get in many handicaps. He is not an easy horse to place and this looks the best race for him.
"It is a very competitive race and although he has never been to Chester before I don't think the track will be a problem, while the ground is fine.
"He got struck into at Goodwood on his last start so he had a bit of an enforced break but he is in great form and I am very pleased with him. His long-term aim would be the Ebor."
The seven-runner field is completed by Oriental Fox from the yard of Mark Johnston, the Aidan O'Brien-trained Father Christmas and Blue Rambler, who will represent Ian Williams.
