Aidan O’Brien preparing his team for the big contests at Chester racecourse this week
O'Brien has a good record at the racecourse and he is looking to land his third successive Cheshire Oaks when Alluringly takes to the course on Wednesday
AIDAN O’Brien is set to launch another raid on Chester this week.
O’Brien has a fine record on the Rhodee and he will be represented by another small but select team this year.
The Cheshire Oaks is first up on the list as O’Brien looks to land his third successive win in the race after the victories of Diamondsandrubies and Somehow.
This year he saddles Alluringly who heads a field of seven.
Ralph Beckett’s Rich Legacy is the highest-rated horse in the field while John Gosden runs Enable.
Tansholpan, Argenterie, Erica Bing and Hidden Steps complete the field.
O’Brien added: “We also have Cliffs Of Moher who might go for the Dee Stakes, he’s just ready to start.
“Venice Beach is in the Chester Vase, US Army Ranger may come over for the staying race (Ormonde Stakes) and Deauville might come back for the Huxley Stakes.
“There could be others as well, and we could have more than one in some of the races.”
