Confirmed runners and riders for the Nassau Stakes on day three of Glorious Goodwood
![Opera Singer: impressive winner of the Prix Marcel Boussac](/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fs3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com%2Fprod-media-racingpost%2Fprod%2Fimages%2F169_1008%2F19e363b4f8ce-11274853.jpg&w=3840&q=75)
Opera Singer will face nine rivals in Thursday's Group 1 Qatar Nassau Stakes (3.35). The John and Thady Gosden-trained Inspiral was not declared for the feature on day three of Glorious Goodwood.
The Gosdens will instead solely rely on Emily Upjohn, who was supplemented for the top-level contest at a cost of £40,000. The five-year-old mare suffered a half-length defeat to Bluestocking in the Group 1 Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh last month and has not tasted victory since the Coronation Cup at Epsom in June 2023.
Aidan O'Brien, who won this event in 2016 and 2017 with Minding and Winter respectively, will saddle ante-post favourite Opera Singer, who was last seen finishing a length second behind Porta Fortuna in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot.

The three-year-old daughter of Justify has yet to get off the mark in two starts this term, but she won three times during her juvenile campaign, which included an impressive Group 1 success in the Prix Marcel Boussac at Longchamp in October.
Elsewhere, French raider Sparkling Plenty attempts to land a hat-trick for connections after her victories in the Group 2 Prix de Sandringham and Group 1 Prix de Diane the last twice.
Coral-Eclipse fourth Sea The Fire will run for Andrew Balding, while 1,000 Guineas heroine Elmalka attempts to bounce back from defeat at the royal meeting for Roger Varian.
The Hughie Morrison-trained Stay Alert also takes her chance and Ralph Beckett will be double-handed as Lady Boba and Doha also feature. The field is completed by Joseph O'Brien's Lumiere Rock and Novus, for the team of Gary and Josh Moore.
