O'Brien outlines plans for Classic trials Aidan O'Brien has outlined running plans for some of his Classic contenders in the coming days. Giovanni Canaletto, a full-brother to Derby winner Ruler Of The World, has met with a setback, but the Ballydoyle handler will still be well represented at Chester and Lingfield this week. "Giovanni Canaletto has scoped badly and it's a bad time to get a setback," said O'Brien. "Sir Isaac Newton (second to Zawraq on his only outing) will run in a maiden at Chester (Wednesday). He has a lot to learn in a short time. "Smuggler's Cove (third in Dewhurst) will go for the Dee Stakes (Friday) and we'll run something in the Vase. "Order Of St George will probably run in the Lingfield Derby Trial (Saturday). "John F Kennedy will run at Leopardstown on Sunday (in the Derrinstown Derby Trial). He needs to go, and hopefully the ground won't be too bad." O'Brien also had news of Ol' Man River, who was last of 18 in the Qipco 2000 Guineas at Newmarket. "Ol' Man River is OK after the Guineas and he might go for the Dante."
