Star Of India (6-4 favourite) continued Aidan O'Brien's dominance of the Classic trials with victory in the Dee Stakes on the second day of the 2022 Boodles Chester May Festival.
Having won the Chester Vase with Changingoftheguard and the Cheshire Oaks with Thoughts Of June on the first day of the meeting, the Ballydoyle handler added another Cazoo Derby Trial to his successes on the Roodee.
O'Brien already has the 2-1 favourite, QIPCO 2,000 Guineas third Luxembourg, for the Colts' Classic at Epsom. But he seems to adding a potential contender for glory by the day with another trial success. With further trials at Lingfield on Saturday, Leopardstown on Sunday and the Dante Stakes at York next week, the Irish maestro is likely to add even more to his team for Epsom.
