Cape Blanco is set to take his chance in Thursday's totesport Dante Stakes despite a slight setback on Sunday.
The unbeaten son of Galileo is currently in bandages having picked up a slight nick on his heel, but Aidan O'Brien is keen to see him in action on the Knavesmire in a race he has won twice in the last five years with Septimus and Black Bear Island.
"Cape Blanco nicked the back of a heel on Sunday and is wearing bandages, but he seems fine today and the plan is to run in the Dante," said O'Brien.
"He was three from three last year and shows loads of speed, but he is lazy in the way he races.
"If you let the rein go loose then he goes to sleep during a race and it will be interesting to see what he does."
