O’Brien still sweet on Boru

BRIAN BORU is still set to captain Aidan O’Brien’s Vodafone Derby squad as the Ballydoyle team go all out to capture the blue riband of racing for a history-making third consecutive year.

O'Brien has a host of options for Epsom and even now is juggling the balls as he decides which of his enormous team would present the strongest challenge for the race.

Hold That Tiger, a flop in the Sagitta 2000 Guineas earlier this month, is set to take his chance with O'Brien hoping to secure the services of Kieren Fallon.
