Aidan O'Brien dominates Timeform's juvenile rankings after Royal Ascot success

Aidan O'Brien is responsible for Timeform's three highest-rated juvenile colts and the highest-rated juvenile filly following a successful Royal Ascot with his two-year-olds.

O'Brien may not have won a Group 1 at Royal Ascot this year, but he was the dominant trainer in the juvenile division, winning the Coventry with Gstaad, the Queen Mary with True Love and the Norfolk with Charles Darwin.

Gstaad is top-rated in the division following his much-improved performance in the Coventry Stakes which he won by three lengths. He's 1 lb higher than Charles Darwin (110p) who had been the top-rated juvenile heading into Royal Ascot on the back of a decisive win at Naas that was backed up by the clock.

Albert Einstein, seemingly the stable's number one contender for the Coventry before meeting with a setback, is rated 107p following his cosy victory in the Marble Hill Stakes and remains likely to increase his rating when presented with the opportunity.

True Love, who had chased home Gstaad on her stablemate's debut at Navan, posted the best performance by a juvenile filly this season when winning the Queen Mary, and she did well to prevail given her position in the stand-side group meant she raced away from the pace.

Tony McFadden, deputy racing editor at Timeform and Sporting Life, said: "It's still early days in the two-year-old division, but the pick of the performers so far have hailed from Ballydoyle and, as usual, Aidan O'Brien has plenty of firepower at his disposal.

"There's little to split Gstaad and Charles Darwin at the head of the division following their victories at Royal Ascot, though Albert Einstein is seemingly held in high regard and still has plenty of time to stake his claim for top honours having been forced to miss the Coventry.”

Timeform's highest-rated two-year-olds:

• 111p Gstaad

• 110p Charles Darwin

• 107p Albert Einstein

• 102p Humidity

• 102p Maximized

• 102p True Love (filly)
