YEATS HEADS CUP CONTENDERS
By Nick Robson, PA Sport

Needless to say Fallon will not be riding the horse at Goodwood if he runs. It is a G2 race and he would have to carry more weight as he is a G1 winner.

Ascot Gold Cup winner Yeats heads 21 entries for Thursday's ABN Amro Goodwood Cup at the Sussex venue.

Aidan O'Brien's one-time Derby favourite was an impressive winner at the Royal meeting and will clash again with a number of his Ascot rivals.

Runner-up Reefscape, High Action (fourth), Sergeant Cecil (fifth) and Guadalajara (sixth) could all reoppose along with eighth-placed Tungsten Strike and ninth Winged D'Argent.

Mick Channon's dual Royal Ascot winner Baddam and Hughie Morrison's 11-year-old Alcazar are also entered.

Mark Johnston has a fantastic record in the race after the exploits of Double Trigger, Royal Rebel and Darasim in recent years and he has earmarked the contest as a possible return for last year's runner-up Golden Quest.

Other interesting contenders include John Gosden's four-year-old Signatory, Sir Michael Stoute's Cover Up and Sir Mark Prescott's Foreign Affairs.
