Massive step up in class for Kingsbarns

Joseph O’Brien admits the supplemented Kingsbarns faces a massive leap in class for today’s Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster.

The young pilot was on board when the son of Galileo made a striking debut at Navan 17 days ago, winning by seven lengths.

O’Brien’s father Aidan had five other possibles for the race but relies on Kingsbarns, who was supplemented at a cost of £17,500 on Monday.
