Andrew Balding's Bonfire has been subject to significant support in the ante-post betting for next month's Epsom Derby, but the son of Manduro will finally put his Classic credentials on the line this afternoon in York's Dante Stakes at 14:30.
Last seen finishing third to French Fifteen in a French Group One, he was supposed to line up in last week's Dee Stakes at Chester, but Balding elected to save him for today's Group Two as he looks to cement his place in the Derby, but he will face some classy opponents in the 1m 2f heat.
Mahmood Al Zarooni's Mandaean will put his unbeaten record on the line and is another in the higher echelons of the Derby betting, whilst Roger Varian's Ektihaam, Aidan O'Brien's Ernest Hemingway and John Gosden's Fencing add terrific depth to what is sure to be an informative renewal.
Elsewhere on another cracking day's action on the Knavesmire, the fillies will take centre stages at 14:00 with Izzi Top looking the one to beat in the Middleton Stakes.

An ultra-competitive field will head to the 5f start for the Betfred Mobile Sports Stakes Handicap at 13:30, whilst Roger Varian's Mijhaar will be all the rage in the betting for the Betfred Hambleton Stakes at 15:00.
Day two of York's Dante festival will conclude with the tough Investec Specialist Bank Handicap at 16:45, as Malcolm Jefferson's Cape Tribulation looks to add flat glory to his Cheltenham-Aintree double.
William Haggas' Harris Tweed was a cracking winner of the John Porter Stakes last time out and now the improving stayer will look to step up in class on Friday and secure victory in a wide open renewal of the Yorkshire Cup.
Ed Dunlop's globetrotter Red Cadeaux will be a notable challenger, whilst the likes of Mahmood Al Zarooni's Be Fabulous, John Gosden's former St Leger winner Arctic Cosmos and John Dunlop's Times Up add great depth to an intriguing Group Two contest.
On the final day of York's Dante festival, there will be some tricky handicaps for punters to get stuck into, whilst Richard Fahey's Lily's Angel will be tough to beat in the Listed Michael Seely Memorial Stakes.
