O'Brien stablemates on target for classics victory

Aidan O'Brien has confirmed that both Galileo and Imagine are on course for their respective Classic targets at Epsom this weekend. He said: "They have both done little canters and I am very happy with them both. We just have to mind them now until the weekend. All the training has now been done." Galileo has been unbeaten in three starts and is a best-priced 5-2 for Saturday's Vodafone Derby while Entenmann's 1000 Guineas winner Imagine is 3-1 for the Vodafone Oaks on Friday.

Stablemate Milan, an unlucky-in-running fifth in the Prix du Jockey-Club (French Derby) on Sunday, is now likely to go straight for the Irish equivalent at the Curragh on July 1. Back on the Oaks front, Richard Hughes has been booked by trainer Ed Dunlop to ride Pretty Polly Stakes scorer Mot Juste. (PA)
