O'Brien eyes Ribblesdale for Words Aidan O'Brien is prepared to let the once-raced Words make her first appearance in almost a year in the Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot. The daughter of Dansili beat subsequent Group Two winner Raydara on her racecourse debut at the Curragh last June, but was not seen again as a juvenile and has yet to make her three-year-old debut. The Ballydoyle inmate holds a whole host of big-race entries and O'Brien is considering letting her return at the big meeting later this month. He said: "She's in good shape. If she goes to the Ribblesdale she'll be going without a run, but she's in good order."
