O’Brien Can Strike In The St Leger – But With Which Horse?

Once again that man Aidan O’Brien has a strong hand here, and  we have a real rarity in seeing Lambourn, the English and Irish Derby winner, not even heading the betting.

He did look tired when fifth in the Great Voltigeur at York, and it will take some training performance to bring him back to his best here.

Stable companion Scandinavia ground out a win over two miles at Goodwood last time out and has no stamina issues, but he is more than a plodder having powered clear over a mile and five at Newmarket in July, and he may be the likelier winner.

A son of Justify, every win is a bonus for his stallion career, and although I do not see him as any kind of a good thing, he may outbattle his stablemate late on over this trip.
