O’Brien four gunning for Leger glory

AIDAN O’Brien will launch a four-pronged attack on the Ladbrokes St Leger in his attempt to win the world’s oldest Classic for the fourth time in seven years.

After fielding six of the 12 entries at the five-day stage for Saturday’s Doncaster spectacular, O’Brien plans to whittle his raiding party down to a quartet headed by ante-post favourite Honolulu.

Johnny Murtagh is pencilled in for the ride on the Ebor runner-up, with Christophe Soumillon possible for Great Voltigeur third Macarthur, Mick Kinane down for Mahler and Seamie Heffernan or Colm O’Donoghue on Acapulco.
