However, as Ballydoyle’s riding team is stretched to cover top-class racing on both sides of the Irish Sea, prime classic opportunities also look likely among O’Brien’s other Leger entries. Irish Derby hero Los Angeles is left in too but is being targeted at the Irish Champion Stakes instead while Euphoric is an outsider.

What had looked like being overwhelming Ballydoyle dominance for Saturday’s final classic of the English season altered though when You Got To Me was supplemented into the Leger at a cost of £50,000 . The trainer was a Leger winner with Simple Verse in 2015 although it required a successful appeal against her demotion in favour of O’Brien’s Bondi Beach by the race-day stewards. Beckett was also runner-up in the Leger with Talent and third with another filly, Look Here.

The Ballydoyle team have left four in the Group Two Champagne Stakes on Saturday’s Doncaster card. They include Bernard Shaw, a nine-length maiden winner at Dundalk on his last start.
