Tuesday updates: Karl Burke juvenile backed into 5-1 from 20s in wide-open Vintage Stakes

With the news of The Parthenon being a non-runner for Aidan O'Brien, the market for the Group 2 Vintage Stakes continues to reform and a significant amount of support has come in for Tiger Mask.

Trained by Karl Burke, the two-year-old son of Havana Grey has progressed smooth;y three starts. He has posted a better Racing Post Rating with each run and got off the mark when landing an Ascot novice earlier this month when upped to seven furlongs for the first time.

Tiger Mask is now a general 5-1 third-favourite behind Aomori City and Cool Hoof Luke, having opened as big as 20-1 on Monday night.

Only seven remain in the field after ante-post favourite The Parthenon was declared a non-runner due to the ground. Despite the small field, each runner holds claims with a victory to their name already. 

Aomori City, Cool Hoof Luke, An Outlaw's Grace, Electrolyte and Wolf Of Badenoch all registered victories on their debut efforts, while Arabian Sun went one better than his debut second when he scored at Salisbury for Clive Cox last month.

Goodwood Cup favourite Kyprios continues to shorten but The Parthenon ruled out of Vintage Stakes

Ascot Gold Cup hero Kyprios continues to shorten in his bid to follow up in the Group 1 Goodwood Cup (3.35), the feature on the opening day of Glorious Goodwood.

The Aidan O'Brien-trained six-year-old, who defeated Trawlerman by a length at the royal meeting, has been well supported in the market for the main event and is now 2-5 (from 4-9) with Paddy Power to extend his winning sequence to four.

Paddy Power spokesman Paul Binfield said: "So far, despite being quite a prohibitive price, the money would indicate that Kyprios is home and hosed. You can see why as he’s rated at least 6lb higher than all of the opposition and while his form last year was not too shabby, he’s been devastating this season, especially in the Gold Cup last time."

O'Brien's stayer will face five other rivals in the £500,000 contest after the field was reduced following the withdrawal of the Brian Ellison-trained Tashkhan due to the ground.

Kyprios will face competition from Sweet William, Gregory, Coltrane, Trueshan and Al Qareem.

However, Kyprios's stablemate, and Group 2 Vintage Stakes (2.25) favourite, The Parthenon will not take his chance after being declared a non-runner due to the ground.

The son of Kingman was as short at 11-4 in places this morning, but his withdrawal has seen the Charlie Appleby-trained Aomori City move towards the top of the betting. Cool Hoof Luke and An Outlaw's Grace are also prominent in the market, while support has come in for Karl Burke's Tiger Mask.

Clerk of the course Edward Arkell believes good to firm could appear in the going description for the opening day of Glorious Goodwood.

The ground on Monday was described as good, good to soft in places (from good to soft), but conditions have continued to quicken and it was changed to good all over this morning.

Speaking just before 8am, Arkell said: "We changed it to good this morning and it should be another warm and sunny day. Looking back over the past few days, it's been quickening up slowly and I wouldn't be surprised if good to firm came into the description."

The first of eight races begins with the 18-runner Chesterfield Cup (1.50), while the feature Group 1 Goodwood Cup (3.35) will see Kyprios bid to follow up his Gold Cup success.
