Trainer Aidan O’Brien has suggested that Caravaggio will will be kept to sprint distances this summer.
Caravaggio, who has three wins in as many starts, had been mooted as a potential French 2,000 Guineas contender but O’Brien says the Group 3 Lacken Stakes at Naas will probably be the three-year-old’s next test.
“Caravaggio is very good. He might run in the Lacken Stakes at Naas on his next start – it is very possible that will happen,” said O’Brien, as reported by the Racing Post.
“He is a very quick horse and his work has been quick, so that’s the way we are thinking with him at the moment.”
O’Brien confirmed Orderofthegarter will head to the French 2,000 Guineas but he is unsure as to whether or not Whitecliffsofdover will contest the Longchamp showpiece.
He added: “Orderofthegarter is improving and we have been delighted with him this term, so it is likely he will run. Whitecliffsofdover is also in the race but we are not sure if he will go or not.”
