Godolphin could be doubly-represented in the Irish 2000 Guineas at the Curragh on Saturday week.

Godolphin may not have had a representative to match Rio De La Plata or Ramonti at York, but there was no stopping the boys in blue as they enjoyed a fantastic 301/2-1 treble.

Godolphin’s Rio De La Plata, who was only beaten by New Approach in the best juvenile event of the season in the National Stakes, could possibly be seen again this season after confirming his star quality by running away with the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp.

Soldier Of Fortune can battle his way to success and provide Aidan O’Brien with a first-ever win in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp on Sunday.

Henrythenavigator was overthrown by Godolphin’s Rio De La Plata at the head of the betting for next year’s Stan James 2000 Guineas after he suffered a narrow defeat to Saoirse Abu on heavy ground at the Curragh.
