John Gosden is keen to run Golden Horn in the Qipco Irish Champion Stakes ahead of the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe granted suitable conditions following his shock defeat at York on Wednesday


All eyes will be on Acapulco in the Coolmore Nunthorpe Stakes at York on Friday when the massive American-trained two-year-old bids to capitalise on her weight-for-age and sex allowances, However, Acapulco will face plenty of competition for the early lead here - from the likes of Justineo, Red Baron, Take Cover and Cotai Glory - and there is a possibility that the speed will collapse in the final furlong which would suit MUTHMIR to a tee.
