O'Brien duo aim to make it a Celebration

Recent Salisbury winner Captain Cat and the interesting Aidan O'Brien pair Darwin and Cougar Mountain are among the 16 confirmations for Saturday's Doom Bar Celebration Mile at Goodwood.

Should Roger Charlton's Captain Cat follow up in this Group Two from his victory in the Sovereign Stakes at the Wiltshire course last Thursday, he would be repeating the effort of Afsare 12 months ago.

Darwin paid a recent visit to Goodwood when finishing a close and very respectable third to Kingman in the Sussex Stakes, while Cougar Mountain would be stepping up in trip as he ran a blinder on only his second start to take fifth in the July Cup.

Another in the possible line-up is Farraaj, who has rediscovered the winning formula for Roger Varian at Epsom and in the John Smith's Cup.

Trade Storm, Hors De Combat, Master Carpenter, Mooharib and Muteela are also in the reckoning.
