Drop in trip not a problem – O’Brien

AIDAN O’BRIEN is hoping Dylan Thomas can follow in the footsteps of 2000 victor Giant’s Causeway by lifting today’s Juddmonte International Stakes at York.

The Danehill colt finished third in the Derby at Epsom in June before going on to record a most impressive success in the Irish equivalent the following month.

He has not been seen on the racecourse since that display but his handler is looking forward to saddling him in the £500,000 showpiece event.
