Curragh options for Godolphin
Both Newmarket flop Ibn Khaldun and French Guineas runner-up Rio De La Plata are under consideration for the Boylesports-sponsored Classic.
Fresh from saddling his first winner of the season at York, trainer Saeed bin Suroor suggested that while nothing has come to light for Ibn Khaldun’s flop in the English version, he is showing all the right signs at home.
“He worked very well yesterday and we want to take him over to Ireland,” said Bin Suroor.
“Rio might go as well. He ran very well the other day to come from the back and take second.
“We will keep our options open with him and decide closer to the race. We could run them both, but we have been really happy with Ibn Khaldun since Newmarket.”
