The son of Justify enjoyed a fantastic three-year-old campaign, highlighted by a victory against his elders in the Goodwood Cup before he justified favouritism in the final Classic of the season at Doncaster.

Aidan O’Brien’s colt will be long odds-on to supplement his comeback win in the Vintage Crop at Navan three weeks ago and cement his status as favourite for the Gold Cup on June 18.

O’Brien said: “He goes to Leopardstown on Friday on the way to the Gold Cup, that will be interesting.

“I was delighted with his first run, he was sleeping along. He has a great mind and is only a four-year-old.

“He’s an incredible horse and he obviously won the Betfred St Leger, so we think he could be a very good stayer.

“The Gold Cup is an extreme race and you don’t know until you’ve got past two miles or two and a quarter miles what’s going to happen.

“He’s one of those big horses that floats along in second gear all the time, so it could happen.”

The Group Three Saval Beg – won in three of the last four years by O’Brien’s now-retired staying great Kyprios – sees Scandinavia renew rivalry with Vintage Crop runner-up Dallas Star and the fourth home Leinster.

Happy Pharoah, Le Destrier and Mont St Michel complete the field of six.
