O’Brien York plans in limbo

AIDAN O’Brien has yet to finalise running plans for the Juddmonte International at York next Tuesday.

With Harbinger now out of the equation after suffering a career-ending leg injury, O’Brien’s Rip Van Winkle is favourite across the boards for the Group One contest.

The Galileo colt was a narrow second to Canford Cliffs in the Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood last month and his trainer is eyeing up a trip to the Knavesmire.
