O’Brien in line for treble

AIDAN O’BRIEN has possibilities of a treble at Tipperary this evening, with three different pilots aboard.

The mildly enigmatic Napoleon could provide the Ballydoyle handler with the final leg in the Irish Masiden Rated Race. He ran his best race to date at Gowran Park last week when touched off close home and beaten a short head by Muntami.

That contest was run over an extended nine furlongs and the selection looked to be crying out for further. He now goes a mile and a half and, as a son of Sadler’s Wells, soft ground should hold no fears for him.
