Tennessee Stud and Lambourn could have second Classic clash
Tennessee Stud was one of the few horses to get involved from off the pace as the front-running Lambourn provided Joseph's father Aidan with an 11th Derby victory and O'Brien junior – who also saddled Wemightakedlongway to finish fourth in Friday's Oaks – is happy to take on the winner again on home soil.

He said: 'I was delighted with both runners over the weekend, particularly the horse in the Derby. He came home strongly and looks an exciting horse for the future.
'We felt that he'd improve for the run at Leopardstown, we had been working towards the Derby and he ran a fantastic race.
'I would imagine he'll go back to the Irish Derby. You'd think a mile and a half at the Curragh would suit him well and he has had a good run there before (second in Beresford Stakes).'
O'Brien was similarly pleased with the performance of Wemightakedlongway, who looks set to to stick to Group One level after being beaten just over five lengths by Minnie Hauk in the Oaks.
'She ran great and we could have a look at the Pretty Polly maybe, or the Irish Oaks, or both,' the trainer added.
'She seems well after the race. We'd be happy to try the trip again anyway, that's for sure.
'Hopefully one or both horses can get on the scoreboard at Group One level.'

The Lion In Winter heading back to France for Prix Jacques Le Marois
Winter favourite for the Guineas and Derby, a setback in the spring held up his preparations for the Classics and he missed Newmarket, making his comeback in the Dante at York when he could only finish sixth before trailing home well beaten in the Derby. Dropped markedly in trip to seven furlongs for the Prix Jean Prat, Aidan O'Brien's charge showed plenty of his old sparkle, beaten just a short neck and a short head into third by Woodshauna. Speaking at Navan on Sunday, stable representative Chris Armstrong said: 'It was lovely to get him back on track after all the promise he showed last year. 'He has come out of the race (at Deauville) very well, and everyone is happy with him at home. 'He is going to go to the Jacques Le Marois next in Deauville. Obviously, it is going to be a fascinating race during the summer. 'In fairness, the horse adapted coming right back from a mile and a half to seven (furlongs) last week pretty quickly. 'Back up to a mile in the Jacques Le Marois should suit him.'

Tyson Fury the Grand National winner? Boxing legend aiming for a knockout over jumps with £50,000 horses
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) COULD we soon be talking about Tyson Fury the legendary boxer - and Grand National-winning horse owner? That dream recently took a step closer after it was confirmed the former heavyweight king has moved into jumps racing. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Tyson Fury is moving into jumps racing with a hugely promising horse who could be destined for big things when the season kicks off proper over the winter months Credit: AFP 2 Jimmy Moffatt will be the trainer tasked with turning Fury's horses into serial winners Credit: PA:Empics Sport Big Gypsy King, a three-year-old filly owned by Fury and his manager Spencer Brown, has already had success on the track, winning on the Flat at Chelmsford in May. But now Fury is keen for success in the National Hunt game - after buying two horses for £50,000 and sending them into training with Jimmy Moffatt. Top bloodstock agent Jerry McGrath signed for former Joseph O'Brien horse Cossack Chach at the Goffs UK October Sale in Doncaster last year. Fury and Brown splashed £36,000 on the two-time winner and also bought £14,000 Sea The Clouds, who's already won at Moffatt's local track Cartmel. Bosses at the Lancashire venue - not far from Fury's Morecambe home - are busy planning for the boxer's possible arrival during one of their summer racedays. Fury - who is reportedly eyeing up a mega-fight with Anthony Joshua - has been to Cartmel races before but not with two potential runners of this quality. Speaking to the Racing Post, trainer Moffatt - who landed one of most ridiculous wins ever on The Steward at Newcastle - said: "I met Spencer at Cartmel races last August and he said he wanted to go through Cartmel this summer. "Tyson has not been to the yard yet but there was talk he was going to make an appearance at Cartmel this summer, although I see they're getting busy again now. "I saw him at the track three years ago so he's certainly been there at least once." Moffatt has high confidence Sea The Clouds - who he said was a 'steal' at the price - will love the fast summer conditions. He was beaten just a nose over 2m6f at Cartmel in May - and won at the track for his previous trainer Jamie Snowden this time last year. Coassack Chach, a five-year-old gelding, is 'more of a chasing type and hopefully we'll have a bit of fun with him'. Moffatt added: "We're giving him a couple of months off before starting him for a proper winter campaign. "He's a proper chaser – a great big horse with a big engine."
