Aidan O'Brien The Master Trainer

Aidan O'Brien holds all the aces this season having won 15 Group 1's already this season and he looks to extend this over the final months of the season. He runs Henrythenavigator in the Sussex Stakes at the Glorious Goodwood meeting and it is odds on for a 16th Group 1 for the Irish trainer. In addition, he also looks to have a bright new recruit in Mastercraftsman who is the new 6/1 (from 16) favourite for the Stan James UK 2000 Guineas with the sponsors after impressively winning the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh on Sunday. All the online bookmakers were very impressed as totesport also put him in as their favourite for the race next May.

Stan James UK PR Manager Laura Stephens said: "Mastercraftsman looks a serious horse after disposing of Art Connoisseur 20 (from 12) so readily and we now make him the 6/1 favourite over his stablemate Rip Van Winkle at 8/1. The way he won proves there will be no stamina doubts come May."

Spokesman for totesport Damian Walker said: “This was a seriously impressive win and we had no hesitation in going 5-1 about Mastercraftsman for the 2,000 Guineas straight after the race.
