Kinane faces tough choice, says O'Brien

Aidan O'Brien says Michael Kinane faces a tough choice over his Derby ride, at Epsom on Saturday week.

Aidan O'Brien says Michael Kinane faces a tough choice over his Derby ride, at Epsom on Saturday week.

O'Brien's stable jockey must decide between Hawk Wing and High Chaparral, the two horses disputing favouritism in the ante-post betting.

Hawk Wing comes into the race on the back of his second to stablemate Rock Of Gibraltar in the 2000 Guineas, but he lacks the proven stamina of High Chaparral.

Rock Of Gibraltar would only be considered for Epsom if Hawk Wing or High Chaparral were forced out of the reckoning.

"He didn't lose a kilo in that race," O'Brien revealed.
