Torquator Tasso (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}) remains in contention for Sunday's G1 Grosser Preis von Baden following the latest confirmation stage on Monday.

The 5-year-old defending champion could face up to seven rivals in his first race with Frankie Dettori in the saddle. His regular rider Rene Piechulek is required to ride Mendocino (Ger) Adlerflug {Ger}). 

Also in the potential line-up for Sunday's feature is the German Derby winner Sammarco (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), who followed up his Classic success with victory in the G1 Grosser Dallmayr Preis. 

Twelve months ago, Torquator Tasso beat last year's German Derby winner Sisfahan (Ger) (Isfahan {Ger}) to land Baden-Baden's big race en route to his famous victory in the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
