Aidan O'Brien has monopolised the Juddmonte Beresford Stakes like no other Irish juvenile event and his domination of the Group 2 mile contest continued with a 1-2-3 in Sunday's six-runner renewal.

Capri, the 8-11 favourite, gave O'Brien his 16th victory in the race, and his sixth consecutive strike, the trainer having chalked up his first with Johan Cruyff 20 years ago.
