Aidan O'Brien and Saeed bin Suroor will both be three-handed in Saturday's Sagitta 2000 Guineas, for which 19 horses were declared today. Ballydoyle maestro O'Brien has declared Minardi, King's County and Darwin for the Newmarket Classic. Jockey bookings have yet to be confirmed for the trio but first-choice rider Michael Kinane is expected to be aboard Minardi.
Meanwhile, last season's champion jockey Kevin Darley has been given the call-up to ride Divine Task for Godolphin. The unraced son of Irish River has been declared along with stablemates Rumpold and Tobougg, the likely favourite and the chosen ride of Frankie Dettori. Sir Michael Stoute has declared both Golan and Tempest.
