Race preview

Aidan O'Brien recorded a staggering 12th Dee Stakes success with Mount Kilimanjaro last year and CONSTITUTION RIVER could make it lucky number 13 for the Ballydoyle maestro. Beaten a short head by subsequent Guineas third Distant Storm on his debut at Newmarket, he went on to land cramped odds at Galway before claiming Group 2 honours at the Curragh. As has been the case with others before him, the son of Wootton Bassett is sure to progress over middle-distances and might prove hard to beat. Feilden winner Morshdi is the obvious threat but don't rule out Golden Story, who made a winning introduction at Doncaster back in October.
