O’Brien can often be mob-handed in Classics but he relies on just the front two in the market, Ten Sovereigns and Magna Grecia, as he bids to follow up the wins of Churchill (2017) and Saxon Warrior (2018).

Ten Sovereigns started his racing career with a seven-length romp in a Curragh maiden before stepping up in class to gain a smooth Group Three success at the same track.

He then came over to Newmarket to establish the best form in this Classic when taking the Middle Park Stakes by half a length, despite still looking inexperienced.

All his three runs have been over six furlongs but Ryan Moore, who rides him for the first time, clearly believes he is more than a sprinter.

Aidan’s son Donnacha, the only jockey to have partnered the selection in races, has to settle for the ride on Magna Grecia, who has more of a staying profile having won over the full Guineas distance when taking the Group One Futurity at Doncaster last October.

KICK ON KICK ON (nb, 3.15) did not kick on as anticipated after winning at Windsor last July but may have been suffereing from a breathing issue which should have been corrected by an operation on his wind in the close season.

Soft ground may have caught him out in terms of fitness on his Newbury reappearance three weeks ago but this unexposed sprinter should now be ready to show his class off top weight at Goodwood.

Another sprint handicap provides a good bet, this time at Doncaster via WENTWORTH FALLS (treble, 6.50).

He has a course win to his credit and arguably his best run came at the backend of last season, also at this track, when beaten less than two lengths in the valuable Portland Handicap.

A pipe-opener over an inadequate five furlongs at Beverley should have put him spot on for today and being from an unfashionable yard should result in his going off at attractive odds.
