Because the Group One has to be declared 48 hours in advance, Fallon is rapidly running out of time. Speaking yesterday afternoon, Aidan O'Brien, confirming that Gypsy King, Oratorio, Grand Central and Almighty will do duty for Ballydoyle, said: “My heart goes out to Kieren, he is torn between the two.

“The tests on all four horses were clear at lunchtime today and they are in great form. Neither Gypsy King or Oratorio are extravagant workers at home and that has made it difficult for Kieren.
