Johnny Murtagh will keep the ride on Irish 2000 Guineas winner Black Minnaloushe in tomorrow's St James's Palace Stakes, the highlight of the opening day at this year's Royal Ascot meeting.
The Irishman will stay on board last month's Classic hero for trainer Aidan O'Brien as stable-jockey Michael Kinane is again to ride Minardi, who could manage only third when sent off favourite at the Curragh.
O'Brien also saddles Darwin (Paul Scallan) in the feature event on the opening day of the Royal meeting, which he won with Giant's Causeway 12 months ago. A final line-up of 11 was declared for the Group One contest, with Godolphin fielding Poule d'Essai des Poulains (French 2000 Guineas) winner Noverre (Frankie Dettori).
