O'Brien looking for quality over quantity at Goodwood Festival

Kyprios and Order Of Australia will spearhead what could be a select Goodwood Festival team for Aidan O'Brien.

The Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup is Kyprios' target after he announced his arrival as the latest star of the staying scene with victory in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot last month, with Stradivarius and Princess Zoe poised to renew rivalries while reigning champion Trueshan could also lie in wait on Tuesday.

Order Of Australia returned to form with a Group Two win at the Curragh last Sunday and is primed to step back up to the highest level in Wednesday's Qatar Sussex Stakes - in which the unbeaten Baaeed and 2000 Guineas winner Coroebus are two of the headline horses.

O'Brien said: "We are happy with Kyprios and the Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup has always been the plan since Ascot.

"The plan is for Order Of Australia to run in the Sussex Stakes, provided everything goes well between now and then. He has come out of the Curragh well."

O'Brien has a clutch of entries across the week, with Concert Hall set to tackle Thursday's Qatar Nassau Stakes after finishing fourth in the Belmont Oaks earlier in the month while New York City could move up in trip for the seven-furlong World Pool Lennox Stakes after coming home last in the Sapphire Stakes over the minimum trip last Saturday.
