O’Brien aiming to eclipse Al Kazeem in International

Aidan O’Brien has no ground concerns as Declaration Of War attempts to reverse Eclipse Stakes placings with Al Kazeem in the Juddmonte International Stakes at York this afternoon.

Roger Charlton’s five-year-old bids to become the first horse to add the Knavesmire showpiece to his cv after wins in both the Prince of Wales’s Stakes and the Coral-Eclipse.

While Al Kazeem goes to Yorkshire in great form, Charlton wishes there was more cut in the ground to aid his stable star in his quest.
