O’Brien has bagged 18 wins at the highest level this term and he looks to have a strong hand with the triple Ascot Gold Cup winner Yeats and last year’s Doncaster Cup hero Septimus.

The Ballydoyle trainer has indicated Septimus would be his preferred runner but he also has Adored, Honolulu, Mikhail Fokine, New Zealand and William Hogarth to choose from.
