Aidan O'Brien may have been off the mark at Newmarket on Guineas weekend but he bounced back in no uncertain terms at Chester's May meeting by winning both Classic trials on the opening day with Minnie Hauk and Lambourn.
Expanded and Lake Victoria failed to live up to market expectations in the 2000 and 1000 Guineas respectively, but any talk of O'Brien's three-year-old crop not being up to speed has quickly been put to bed.
