Leading trainer Chris Waller has accepted with eight horses for the weight-for-age Chipping Norton Stakes at Warwick Farm.

Waller's contingent for the first Group One race of the Sydney autumn carnival will be Foreteller, Boban, He's Your Man, Hawkspur, Junoob, Weary, Who Shot Thebarman and Opinion.

But despite having numbers on his side, Waller is unlikely to saddle up the favourite on Saturday.

Godolphin star Contributer is expected to be the popular elect after his first-up win in the Apollo Stakes.

Contributer will be joined in the 1600-metre race by stable newcomer, an import which will be ridden by English jockey James Doyle.

Silent Achiever and Lucia Valentina are the only mares in the 15-horse field.
