Ballydoyle duo in Great Voltigeur

Aidan O'Brien saddles two in Tuesday's sportingbet.com Great Voltigeur at York with Midas Touch and Joshua Tree representing the Ballydoyle handler.

Midas Touch, finished runner-up in the Irish Derby last time while Joshua Tree, who claimed the Royal Lodge last year, makes his first start of the season.

"Midas Touch is a straightforward, honest horse. He's had a little rest since the Irish Derby and we've been very happy with him since, he's just ready to start back," said O'Brien.

"Joshua Tree was a lovely horse last year and won at Ascot but he just had a few little things in the spring which held him up and he's only ready to come out now. He's in good form as well.

"We'll be hoping he runs a nice race but I think Midas Touch will be more forward than him, obviously, as he has been running this season and is a solid-looking horse.

"Joshua Tree is a lovely horse. He came from behind at Ascot but won very nicely and I suppose he could be anything.

"He's been doing everything real nice at home but he'll be carrying a bit of condition and whatever he'd does he'll improve from it.

"He got a mile very well as a two-year-old so you'd imagine he'll want 10 or 12 furlongs this year," he told At The Races.
