Aidan O\u2019Brien dominates the potential field numerically with 11 possible runners hailing from his Ballydoyle yard.<\/p>\n
Justify colt Scandinavia has been a relatively late bloomer, finishing fifth to Carmers in the Queen\u2019s Vase at Ascot before winning the Bahrain Trophy at Newmarket.<\/p>\n
He stepped into open company at Goodwood last week and despite being overlooked by Ryan Moore in favour of Illinois, ran out the winner.<\/p>\n
His dual Derby-winning stablemate Lambourn would be another huge player if he turns up, as would Whirl, winner of last week\u2019s Nassau Stakes over 10 furlongs at Goodwood.<\/p>\n
Galveston, Oaks victor Minnie Hauk, Mount Kilimanjaro, Puppet Master, Saratoga, Shackleton, Stay True and Thrice are other Ballydoyle possibles.<\/p>\n
Carmers could have a trip to Yorkshire before his big day, with Paddy Twomey considering the Great Voltigeur Stakes for his prep \u2013 or he could stay closer to home.<\/p>\n
\u201cif he runs (beforehand) it will be either in the Great Voltigeur or the Vinnie Roe (at Leopardstown) and then the Leger,\u201d said Twomey.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose two races are within a day of each other so we\u2019ll see which race looks more suitable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Other notable entries include Charlie Johnston\u2019s Lazy Griff, placed in the Derby at Epsom and the Irish equivalent, Tennessee Stud and Arabian Force.<\/p>\n
