O'Brien narrows down Voltigeur options Aloft and Bondi Beach have been confirmed by Aidan O'Brien as likely starters in the Betway Great Voltigeur Stakes. The Ballydoyle handler is responsible for nine of the 14 possible runners in the Group Two at York next Wednesday, but O'Brien is poised to whittle down his mammoth squad to three runners at the most. He said: "It looks like Aloft and Bondi Beach will run in the Great Voltigeur and we could have one more in that race." Aloft, last year's Racing Post Trophy runner-up, looked impressive when winning on his sole start this season in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot. Bondi Beach was unraced as a juvenile but has won two races from three starts this term, including the Curragh Cup on June 28. O'Brien can also choose from Bantry Bay, Giovanni Canaletto, John F Kennedy, Ol' Man River, Order Of St George, Outspoken and Fields Of Athenry - though the latter is set to take his chance in the Betfred Ebor on Saturday week.
