Esoterique can land blow for older brigade at a tasty 10-1

Aidan O’Brien has won six Group 1’s in three different countries this month and aims to win a seventh in a fourth country when Alice Springs takes her chance in the Prix Rothschild (3.15) at Deauville this afternoon.

The amazing thing about all the horses he has won big races with in recent weeks is that they are all progressing, and who knows how far they can go in the coming months?

A great example is Alice Springs, who looked decidedly average when third in the Leopardstown Guineas trial at the start of the season and was well beaten in the 1,000 Guineas afterwards.
