O'Brien heads to Sandown

Celtic Cavalier will be the next Aidan O'Brien two-year-old to run in Britain as he is set to contest the Group Three Solario Stakes at Sandown on Friday. Michael Kinane will ride.

Winner of his only start at Gowran two weeks ago, Celtic Cavalier, a son of Caerleon, will bid to become O'Brien's third juvenile winner in Britain this season.

O'Brien is leaning towards Saturday's Futurity Stakes at the Curragh as Saratoga Springs' next race. The trainer said he was "in no panic" about running King Of Kings who worked at Ballydoyle yesterday.

The Charles O'Brien-trained, Budweiser Irish Derby runner-up Dr Johnson, successful in Leopardstown's Ballycullen Stakes last Saturday, is a 7 to 1 shot with William Hill for the Pertemps St Leger (1m 6f) to be staged at Doncaster on September 13th.
