    Aidan O'Brien worked a battalion of star Ballydoyle performers after racing at the Curragh on Sunday.

    O'Brien put 20 of his leading lights through their paces in three groups following the conclusion of the first turf meeting of the Flat campaign, including St Nicholas Abbey and Fame And Glory, who spearheaded the first batch of 10 workers.

    All eyes were on Racing Post Trophy winner St Nicholas Abbey (Sam Curling), who, having been held up in the early stages, quickened up nicely on the soft ground to finish an effortless second behind Mikhail Glinka (Joseph O'Brien).

    O'Brien said: "I was happy with how all the horses worked. A number of them are in contention to run in the English Guineas, but no decisions will made for a few weeks yet."

    The second three-runner Ballydoyle team saw dual Group One winner Rip Van Winkle, perennial bridesmaid to Sea The Stars, work under Johnny Murtagh alongside the unraced Dia Dhuit (Stephen Crawford) and Seven Summits (Gary Hutchinson).

    Showcasing O'Brien's seven-strong third group was a clutch of Classic aspirants, including Alfred Nobel (Brian O'Neill) and the unbeaten Cape Blanco (Murtagh).

    Beethoven (O'Brien) and Fencing Master (Colm O'Donoghue) - respective first and second home in the Dewhurst - also enjoyed a light spin, while Lord High Admiral (Curling) went in many notebooks during the routine breeze.

    Noticeable by their absence, however, were Jan Vermeer, Steinbeck and Lillie Langtry.

    O'Brien added: "Jan Vermeer got a stone bruise and is doing some swimming, so he is about a week behind the others, but is still in the Guineas picture.

    "Steinbeck has had a little setback and will not make it to Newmarket. Lillie Langtry is another that won't make Newmarket."
