O’Brien to make late Beresford call with River

Aidan O’Brien will make a late decision on where Ol’ Man River runs this weekend with the highly-regarded juvenile one of 16 possibles in the Juddmonte Beresford Stakes at the Curragh on Sunday.

The son of Montjeu and Finsceal Beo, who was an eyecatching winner on his debut, also has the option of running in the Royal Lodge at Newmarket on Saturday.

Ol’ Man River is one of five remaining entries for the Ballydoyle handler in the Group Two which he has dominated down the years, with Geoffrey Chaucer giving him a 13th win last season.
