Superstar stayer Kyprios is set to face eight rivals, following the latest confirmation stage for the opening day of Glorious Goodwood.

Trained by Aidan O’Brien, the six-year-old is the shortest-priced ante-post favorite at 8-11, after securing his fifth Group 1 victory in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot last month. The 2022 Goodwood Cup winner aims to reclaim this title after missing last year’s race due to injury.

O’Brien initially entered nine horses but has narrowed his contenders to three, with Continuous and Point Lonsdale also in the running. Kyprios won the Gold Cup at Ascot by holding off Trawlerman, who will not compete on Tuesday. However, Sweet William and Coltrane, who finished third and fifth respectively, could challenge him again.

Gregory, a favorite for the Gold Cup who finished a disappointing seventh, may attempt to rebound for John and Thady Gosden. Additionally, Alan King has confirmed the participation of Trueshan, the 2021 Goodwood Cup winner.
