The Lion In Winter given €1 million race target as Aidan O'Brien maps out plans for his juvenile jewels

Aidan O'Brien has nominated the targets for some of his top two-year-olds, with Betfred Derby favourite The Lion In Winter set to chase a huge payday in the Goffs Million at the Curragh next month, Fairy Godmother due to clash with Babouche in the Cheveley Park Stakes and Bedtime Story pencilled in for the Moyglare Stakes. 

The Lion In Winter shot to the top of the Derby market, priced between 5-1 and 7-1, after winning a red-hot Acomb Stakes under Ryan Moore last week. The Goffs Million over seven furlongs is next on the agenda.

O'Brien said: "We were very happy with him at York. He went forward and Ryan gave him a brilliant ride; he was very controlled on him.
