Ladbrokes & Bet365 have 12/1 on offer right now for Mr O'Brien.

I think the danger Vespone poses is possibly being underrated in most quarters. He kicked off his Euro campaign in the Prix Ganay. It was quick and the ground was bottomless and because of his front running style, he had a very hard race IMO. Defeat just 14 days later at Capanelle came as no surprise, he was wandering about like a drunk man both left and right. He must've been feeling the effects of the Ganay in Rome. Next time out at Epsom he stumbled so badly he was sprawling about like a new born giraffe; forget this run completely; that's racing. Last time under an effective first time visor, he went off like a scalded cat and eventually paid the price, prompting Fallon [on the third] to say he felt he had never gone so quick over 10f. So, one big catalogue of excuses. Vespone has drawn well today, the ground should suit, the tight turning track should hold his interest. I say this, as it is difficult to front run on our long lonely home straights. If Dettori can get him out safely on or near the lead under an even pace and save ground then he should run a big race; he'll need to. 1/2 unit at 10/1 or better.

Good luck to all in a race which for me is tough to be going into with both hands full.
