KYPRIOS can deny Stradivarius a record-equalling fourth success and win the Ascot Gold Cup (British Champions Series) on the third day of Royal Ascot 2022.
Aidan O’Brien’s four-year-old can land the Group One feature in Berkshire and stop triple Gold star Stradivarius from joining Yeats – another former Ballydoyle inmate – on four successes.
John and Thady Gosden’s staying star missed out on a fourth win last season as Subjectivist landed the Gold Cup and although the eight-year-old returned to action with victory in the Group Two Paddy Power Yorkshire Cup at York last month, he remains vulnerable again to an up-and-coming rival.
