Superstar stayer Kyprios could take on eight rivals in the Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup Stakes following the latest confirmation stage for the first day of Glorious Goodwood.

The Aidan O'Brien-trained six-year-old is the meeting's shortest price ante-post favourite at 8-11 having recorded a fifth Group 1 in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot last month. The 2022 Goodwood Cup winner will bid to reclaim the first of the three top-level contests at the festival having missed last summer with injury.

O'Brien was responsible for nine of the 16 runners but reduced his string to three with Continuous and Point Lonsdale also in contention.

Kyprios held off Trawlerman to win by a length at Ascot and that rival is not among Tuesday's potential opposition, though third- and fifth-place finishers Sweet William and Coltrane could take him on.

Gregory was among the leading Gold Cup fancies but disappointed in seventh and may bid to bounce back for John and Thady Gosden. Alan King also confirmed the 2021 winner Trueshan.

World Pool Lennox Stakes ante-post favourite Haatem was not among the dozen left in the race at Wednesday's confirmation stage.

The field is led by Kinross, who will bid to win the race for a third time. Surprise Lockinge winner Audience and Wokingham scorer English Oak are also potential runners.

Wathnan Racing have bought Railway Stakes runner-up The Strikin Viking from Middleham Park and the juvenile was among the entries for the HKJC World Pool Vintage Stakes. The horse, named after Manchester City striker Erling Haaland, is now trained by Hamad Al-Jehani.
