'He's in great form and I'm very happy with him'
Aidan O'Brien, trainer of Order Of St George and Idaho
Order Of St George is in great form and I'm very happy with him. He will go to Leopardstown on Friday night for the Saval Beg and, if all goes well, it will be on to Ascot. Idaho is likely to go to Epsom for the Coronation Cup, so the Gold Cup is probably not on his agenda at the moment. He's done well since you saw him last.
Michael Bell, trainer of Big Orange
Big Orange is in great form but we gave the Yorkshire Cup a miss due to the soft ground. We plan to run him in the Henry II Stakes at Sandown on Thursday and then go for the Ascot Gold Cup. Hopefully he'll get his ground at Ascot
Saeed Bin Suroor, trainer of Beautiful Romance and Winning Story
Beautiful Romance will work this week and one of the options for her is the Gold Cup. She won over a mile and six furlongs in Dubai and then was second over two miles on World Cup night and she'll contest the top staying races in Britain and Europe this year. Winning Story ran well at Chester last time and he could also run at Royal Ascot.
