O'Brien trio among Sussex Stakes nine Aidan O'Brien has three possibles in the Qipco Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood on Wednesday following the latest confirmation stage. The Ballydoyle handler could call upon Darwin, second in the Minstrel Stakes at the Curragh, the twice-raced maiden Illusive and War Command, who was last seen finishing down the field in the Eclipse. The headline acts are arguably Toronado and Kingman, who both feature among the nine entries. Toronado took the prize 12 months ago and made a stunning reappearance when winning the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot. His trainer Richard Hannon has also left in Lockinge victor Olympic Glory and Shifting Power, who was fourth in the Qipco 2000 Guineas and second in the Irish equivalent. Kingman, trained by John Gosden, left Shifting Power trailing by five lengths in the Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas and followed up with a wonderful success in the St James's Palace Stakes. The filly in contention is Sir Michael Stoute's Integral, who opened her Group One account in the Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket's July meeting. Godolphin's Outstrip, third in the St James's Palace, completes the list.
