O'Brien fields three in Great Voltigeur Aidan O'Brien goes for broke with three runners in the Betway Great Voltigeur Stakes on Wednesday. Aloft made a successful reappearance in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot and is joined at York by stablemates Bondi Beach and Giovanni Canaletto. Giovanni Canaletto finished behind Voltigeur rival Storm The Stars in the English and Irish Derbys, while Bondi Beach is the least exposed of the trio, having short headed stablemate Order Of St George in the Group Three Curragh Cup on the latest of his three starts. "He had a break after the Curragh, but he is progressing," said O'Brien of Bondi Beach. "He's just ready to start back again. It's his first run after a break and he will progress more after this." Storm The Stars bids to cement his position as ante-post favourite for the Ladbrokes St Leger in the Voltigeur. The William Haggas-trained colt heads the market for the Doncaster Classic on September 12 after a string of fine performances at the highest level. Placed in the English and Irish Derbys, Storm The Stars was third to Erupt in the Grand Prix de Paris at Longchamp on his latest start. He takes his racing extremely well and will be having his eighth run of the campaign. "We're hoping he can win. It's never easy, but he's beaten most of them and hopefully that will continue," said Bruce Raymond, racing manager to owner Sheikh Juma Dalmook Al Maktoum. "I think they've got him to beat rather than the other way round. We're the confirmed better horse on form at the moment. "It's unlike William's training to run him that much, but he has to keep on top of this horse. He gets very fresh."
