Spencer anticipates a bold show from Cape Blanco

JAMIE Spencer anticipates a bold show from Cape Blanco when the pair team up in Saturday’s Man o’War Stakes at Belmont Park.

Last year’s Irish Derby and Irish Champion Stakes hero was a well-beaten sixth over a mile in the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot on his latest start, but had previously performed with credit in France and Dubai.

Aidan O’Brien’s four-year-old was just ahead of Gio Ponti in the World Cup at Meydan, and again goes head to head with his old rival, who is seeking a third consecutive Man o’War triumph.
