Richard Hannon has some big decisions to make on where he runs Rosallion next - but it looks like it may not be in the Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood

He was second-fav for the £1million contest next Wednesday but has been usurped by Aidan O'Brien's Henri Matisse.
Rosallion's price on the Exchange has ballooned from 5 (4-1) to 9 (8-1), while he remains a general 7-2 chance on sportsbooks.
Hannon - who saw his stable star lose the Queen Anne by a nose on his last run - had said the 7f City Of York at next month's Ebor Festival could be on the cards.
But he also said the 1m Prix Jacques Le Marois (worth around £200,000 more to the winner than the City Of York) is a strong possibility too.

It's very unlikely he would do both given they are less than a week apart, with the French race on August 17 and City Of York August 23.
Rosallion's drift came as William Buick was confirmed for the ride on Field Of Gold, who is already as short as 4-9 for the Sussex.
Juddmonte's retained rider Colin Keane - who would have been on the top three-year-old - is banned from Goodwood after breaking whip rules at Sandown earlier this month.
Buick was previously a jockey at Clarehaven and enjoys a good relationship with the horse's trainer John Gosden.

Gosden said: "William came in and rode Field Of Gold this morning and if he's free next Wednesday he will ride, providing Godolphin don't supplement one into the race.
"They worked nicely together and it's all systems go for Goodwood.
"William and I have a long association going back to the pre-Frankie Dettori era."

Hollie Doyle 'devastated' as she leads tributes for Trueshan after fatal injury
A visibly moved Hollie Doyle paid homage to her long-standing partner Trueshan, following the tragic loss of one of Flat racing's stalwarts at Goodwood on Tuesday. The much-loved stayer suffered a fatal injury, leaving fans and the racing community in shock. Doyle was aboard Alan King's nine year old for the fourth time in the Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup, a race they had previously won in 2021. The gelding was participating in his 35th race of an illustrious career when he abruptly pulled up halfway through. Reflecting on their shared victories, which included 11 wins and three consecutive triumphs in the Long Distance Cup at Ascot on British Champions Day, a heartbroken Doyle told the PA news agency: "I'm just devastated. It couldn't be any worse. He was a special, special horse, I can't think of anything else to say." 'I am gutted. He's been amazing for me, a star, and those memories we have together are some of my very best.' A 16-time winner – three of them coming at Group One level – Trueshan had attracted a following that is unusual for a Flat horse due to his longevity. In 2022 he dropped into handicap company to defy one of the highest marks in recent times when winning the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle. James Given, the British Horseracing Authority's director of equine welfare, told ITV Racing: 'I want to express my sincere condolences to all the connections and anyone associated with the horse, no one is going to feel this more than them. 'He's been a stalwart, he's been a firm friend, he's been everything to them 'What has happened unfortunately is just an accident, mid-race, in a straight line going up a hill. His left-hind pastern broke and left him in a situation that wasn't recoverable from. 'Alan was able to get down there and assess him with the vet and they felt there was no option really but to put him down.'

Ascot hero Trueshan dies at Goodwood Festival after being pulled up live on ITV
Legendary horse Trueshan has died following a fatal injury during the Goodwood Cup. Hollie Doyle was riding the Alan King-trained contender when he suffered a serious leg injury in Tuesday's showpiece event. The nine-year-old Ascot winner was in contention for the lead in the £500,000 race when tragedy struck. Doyle attempted to get the horse back on its feet when it became apparent something wasn't right. Speaking on air after the incident, ITV Racing host Ed Chamberlin said: "I just feel so sad about Trueshan." It was later confirmed the horse had to be put down. An ambulance was called onto the track as sad scenes enveloped the racecourse in West Sussex. However, fans were soon hit with the news that the star would not recover. "Unfortunately, Trueshan suffered a fatal injury in the Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup," read a statement from ITV. "Our thoughts go out to connections at this difficult time." Trueshan had previously competed in three other editions of the Goodwood Cup. The French-bred gelding won the race in 2021, as well as recording two other impressive finishes of third and fourth. Hollie Doyle was a long-time partner of Trueshan and was riding the horse when he suffered the fatal injury (Image: PA) The horse accumulated winnings of a little less than £1.9million over the course of his glittering on-track career. His greatest success was winning the British Champions Long Distance Cup at Ascot three years straight between 2020 and 2022. Doyle jockeyed the veteran for each of those three triumphs and shared a particular connection. Only two other horses have won the British Champions Long Distance Cup three or more times in a row: High Line (1969-1971) and Further Flight (1991-95). Trueshan competed in 34 races over the course of his career and won 16 of those. That record will ensure his legacy as one of the greatest long-distance horses of his generation. The tragedy marked the second race in succession that required the ambulance to be called onto the track. The first unfolded after Kinross was kicked in the leg moments before the HKJC World Pool Lennox Stakes got underway at 2.30pm. Kinross appeared to be bleeding above the knee and was pulled from the race shortly after. There will be more to follow on this breaking news story

‘An amazing trainer' – JP McManus & Ruby Walsh pay heartfelt tributes to Edward O'Grady at Galway Races
JP McManus and Ruby Walsh led tributes to legendary trainer Edward O'Grady on day one of the Galway Races Festival. A shadow was cast over Monday's card when word emerged of 3 O'Grady was the pre-eminent Irish force at Cheltenham before Willie Mullins Credit: PA 3 He and McManus went way back together Credit: @RTETwo 3 Walsh paid him a fitting tribute at the outset of RTE's coverage from Galway Credit: @RTETwo Jockey great Walsh acknowledged that reality He stated: "Unfortunately, the week has begun on a sombre note as we learnt this morning of the passing of legendary trainer Edward O'Grady. "He trained his first winner back in 1972...53 years as a trainer is a lifetime given to this sport and may he rest in peace." Billionaire owner McManus had a long working relationship with O'Grady which he reflected on with Read More On Irish Sport The 74-year-old recalled: "He was an amazing trainer. I went to him for the first time in 1978 with the second horse I ever owned - Jack of Trumps. "He did a great job with thing I have to say about Edward is he was always very good to his staff - very kind to everybody." The Limerick native added: "He'll be missed. He was a great judge of a horse and on top of that he looked after everyone who worked for him so well." O'Grady was known as The King of Cheltenham before Most read in Horse Racing And he is also partly responsible for the rise of James Bond hero O'Grady himself hit the big time when he teamed up with McManus to land a huge punt at the Festival in 1982. He trained the first of more than 80 McManus Cheltenham winners in the shape of Mister Donavan. Legendary horse trainer Edward O'Grady dies aged 75 just days after saddling his final runner A fearsome punter, McManus said he won more than £250,000 backing his horse over and over for what is now the Turners Novices' Hurdle. In today's money the victory would be worth more than £1.1million. O'Grady masterminded 18 Cheltenham Festival winners from his Tipperary base in all, his victories coming in the days when British trainers still dominated. His most famous horses included the likes of Golden Cygnet, who many said was the greatest hurdler of all time despite his only season over obstacles ending in tragedy. Dubbed 'the horse of the century', he won the 1978 Supreme Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham before suffering a fatal fall in the Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr, cruelly cutting short the career over a horse O'Grady said was 'the most talented I ever trained'. Gay Future, Native Upmanship, Ned Kelly, Back In Front and Tranquil Sea were other big O'Grady horses. O'Grady, who also enjoyed success as a Flat trainer having been forced to switch when farming troubles hit Ireand, was saddling horses right up until his death. His final ever runner was Sovereign Banter who ran at Cork last Friday night - mere weeks after his last winner, Our Soldier, earlier this month. PERSONAL TRAGEDIES Trainer Fergal O'Brien was among the first to pay tribute to a trailblazer in the sport, writing on X: "One of the very best. Sad news." This is the second death to hit racing in as many weeks, after a Despite his success on the track, tragedy was never too far away from O'Grady's personal life. His first wife Judy passed away in 2010, seven years before second wife Maria was killed in a fall. O'Grady later remarried and leaves behind wife Kay and children Jonathan, Amber, Lucy, Mimi and Rosie Mae.
