So You Think, a five-time Group One winner in Australia, is clear favourite for the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot in July following an impressive European debut for Aidan OBrien at the Curragh on Monday. Sent off at odds of 2-13, the son of High Chaparral was a dominating presence in the paddock beforehand and imposed his superiority on the Group Three Mooresbridge Stakes, drawing 10 lengths clear at the line.

The horses wins in Australia include the Cox Plate, the countrys premier open middle-distance event, and he is as short as 5-2 (from 6-1) with Paddy Power to take its British equivalent at Ascot this year.

Hes only been doing half speeds at home and was just ready to start today, OBrien said. You couldnt have asked for more; hes an incredible specimen and its a privilege to have him.

So You Think is now likely to be aimed at the Tattersalls Gold Cup at The Curragh on 22 May, where he could face Workforce, last years Derby and Prix de lArc de Triomphe winner,

The connections of World Domination, the ante-post favourite for the Derby, said on Mondaythat he is still expected to need his next race in the Dante Stakes at York next week. Henry Cecils colt was unraced at two, but made a striking racecourse debut at Newbury last month.

World Domination has had a bruise on his foot, as Henry mentioned at the weekend, Teddy Grimthorpe, Prince Khalid Abdullahs racing manager, said. It has been treated but hes missed a piece of work.

We will still go to the Dante but obviously he is likely to need that run. The Derby is still in the plan but Henry just wanted to make people aware.
