Racing:Rip Van Winkle left Ireland this morning "with the intention of running" in the BGC Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood.
The Galileo colt suffered a late setback ahead of this afternoon's Group One after Ballydoyle's team discovered a problem with a hind hoof yesterday.
Aidan O'Brien has issued a positive update, however, but will make a final decision upon Rip Van Winkle's arrival at Goodwood.
He told the Racing Postwebsite: "The horse seems much better this morning, he left Ballydoyle at 5am with the intention of running.
"We will reassess the situation when we get to the course when a final decision will be made."
