News
Order Of St George may be denied the chance to bid for
a third win in the Comer Group International Irish St
Leger next at the Curragh on Sunday week.
Aidan O'Brien
feels the six-year-old might just be feeling the effects of a demanding career
that has seen him compete in many races at the highest level - not least when
he won the 2016 Gold Cup at Royal Ascot.
"Order Of
St George is in it (Irish St Leger), but I'm not sure he is going to make it.
He is just feeling a little bit of age at the moment," said O'Brien.
Capri is on course to
return to action at ParisLongchamp on Sunday week as Aidan O'Brien seeks to
ascertain whether he is a Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe contender.
Aidan O'Brien expects Kew
Gardens to thrive at Doncaster as he bids
for William Hill St Leger glory on Saturday week.
While he was beaten just under two lengths when third in
the Great Voltigeur at York last time, O'Brien felt Kew Gardens' 5lb penalty
for his ParisLongchamp win proved crucial and anticipates renewed form when
switching back up to 14 furlongs on Town Moor. Spaeking to the Punter Aidan
saidd: "I was delighted with Kew Gardens' run (at York). "It was not
ideal having a penalty, but we felt we had to have a run and we thought that
was the perfect place to give him a prep. "Ryan Moore was delighted with
him and obviously he stays further. We always thought Doncaster would suit and
hopefully the ground will be nice there."
Clive Cox believes he has left "no stone
unturned" in his quest to get Harry Angel to show his best in the 32Red Sprint Cup at Haydock on Saturday.
William Haggas would love to run Addeybb in the Qipco Irish
Champion Stakes if the ground is soft enough.
It all depends on the weather, obviously," William
told the Punter."He's in the Champion Stakes or the QEII (at Ascot) and if
the ground is as soft as it has been for most of the time (for that meeting),
then he will go there."I really fancy having a go at the Irish Champion
and that would be my principal target at the moment. He's also in a Group Two
(Boomerang Stakes) over a mile there.
Crystal Ocean was a
surprise name amongst 10 entries for Saturday's 188Bet September Stakes at
Kempton which also includes Enable. John Gosden has been aiming last year's star Enable at
the Group Three for some time after it emerged the Yorkshire Oaks was coming
too soon.
However, he was probably not expecting Sir Michael Stoute
to enter the King George runner-up, who is actually rated 1lb higher than
Enable on the official ratings.If Crystal Ocean runs, though, he would be
forced to give 8lb to the filly, who has not been seen since that famous day at
Chantilly last October when she won the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
An early
reminder that the Jumps competition starts on Friday 16 November, strings will
be due by close of play Monday 12th November. As usual there will be
a punters day out
