Aidan O'Brien fires a twin assault on the Park Stakes at Doncaster on Saturday.

The Ballydoyle handler is sending his Qatar Airways Minstrel Stakes winner Spirit Of Valor, as well as Peace Envoy, who finished last behind his stablemate at the Curragh in July and hasn't been seen since.

Last year's winner Breton Rock claimed the Group Two prize by a short head 12 months ago but having landed the Lennox Stakes at Goodwood on his penultimate start, he must concede weight all round this time.

The Hugo Palmer-trained Home Of The Brave won at Listed and Group Three level before going down by just half a length to Breton Rock at Goodwood, and renews rivalry in the Godolphin silks under James Doyle.

Aclaim is a leading contender for Martyn Meade after finishing a close second to Brando in the Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville in early August.

Viscount Barfield (Andrew Balding), Nathra (John Gosden) and Sir Dancealot (David Elsworth) complete the line-up.

O'Brien also throw two arrows at the Champagne Stakes on the same card, with Curragh maiden winner Mendelssohn joined by Seahenge, who was fifth to Expert Eye in the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood.
