Aidan O’Brien’s Capri may be forced to skip Wednesday’s Great Voltigeur Stakes at York and head straight for the St Leger
Capri did not scope clean at the weekend and may have to skip his intended prep run and instead head straight to Doncaster for the William Hill St Leger
AIDAN O'BRIEN has warned Capri is not a certain runner in next week's Betway Great Voltigeur Stakes.
The Irish Derby winner looked set to head to York before a tilt at the William Hill St Leger, but O'Brien revealed he may have to skip his prep run.
O'Brien said: "Capri may not go for the Voltigeur.
"He didn't have a clean scope this morning, and we'll see how he is tomorrow.
