Hills eased ante-post market-leader Maybe to 6-1 from 3-1 after finishing a distant ten-length third behind the winner, although the firm quote O’Brien at a hot 4-5 he will train the Oaks winner.
 
William Hill spokeswoman Kate Miller told Bettingpro: 

“Just 24 hours after Aidan O’Brien nets the 2000 Guineas, the master of Ballydoyle takes a second Classic, even though the result wasn’t what many would have expected.
