They are among the horses that will race the 1, 900 metre Republic Cup following the unveiling of the horses that will feature in the July 13 event.
All in all, there are 17 horses that have been nominated to run in the race, with Ritchie Rich and Mother's Eyes the only exceptions from the horses that took part in the Castle Tankard and the OK Grand Challenge.
The Republic Cup is the third and final race of the three major races at Borrowdale and all the trainers have nominated their top horses with the view of landing the title.
That should set the stage for a close contest as A King Is Born, Ginepri, Madigan, and Captain's Tiger are all expected to be in the field.
The nominations are made two weeks in advance but the real field will only be known a few days before the real contest.
Wright, who is now based in South Africa already boasts of the Castle Tankard title he won with A King Is Born which also finished third in the OK Grand Challenge. Apart from A King Is Born and Ritchie Rich, Wright also sends out Argentia bred Orbit War.
Sebastien D'Aquino who overcame his narrow loss of the Castle Tankard to land the OK Grand Challenge sends out his OK champion Ginepri as well as Burmse Cat, Choisir, Eight Street, Final Fling, and Royal Arrow, the highest number of horses from one trainer.
Not to be done, Ghokan Terzi has taken over Approval Rating from Kenyan Nuno Nur for this event and regular Super Trouper who will have Donovan Mansour in the saddle.
The field cannot be complete without horses from Kirk Swanson.
Captain Tiger has not had the best of life at Borrowdale with his best placing being the third finish in the Tankard. But he is used to such distances like offered by the Republic Cup and Swanson fancies his chances in the 1, 900 metre contest.
Swanson, who also features Madigan and can bank on the horse for the crown as the chances of Mother's Eye, cannot be guaranteed at the moment.
Kumaran Naidoo also fields Directorate but the seven year old gelden has not had the best of times at Borrowdale.
