Trainer Michael Bell insists Fabricate is in “great form” ahead of another trip to Sandown later this month.
The six-year-old had to settle for second place in the bet365 Gordon Richards Stakes at Sandown last month.
Sir Michael Stoute's Crystal Ocean beat Fabricate by a short head but Bell's charge will have the opportunity to go one better on Thursday in the Group 3 Matchbook Brigadier Gerard Stakes.
Fabricate was confirmed as one of 11 runners on Friday with Bell admitting he is optimistic of picking up a positive result.
Bell said: “He's a very likely runner. It has been his aim since he was chinned there last month. It looks the ideal race for him, although it appears Sir Michael may be unleashing another one [Poet's Word] against us! Fabricate is in great form.”
