O’Donoghue eyes Longchamp Treasure

COLM O’Donoghue believes Treasure Beach can continue to improve throughout the season as he looks to follow up his Irish Derby win in the Juddmonte Grand Prix de Paris at Longchamp this evening.

The Aidan O’Brien trained colt almost pulled off a 25-1 surprise in the Derby at Epsom when just denied by Pour Moi, but proved that was no fluke by going one better in the Irish equivalent at the Curragh.

Stablemate Seville, an Epsom disappointment, looked the likely winner of the Irish Derby before tiring close home and the pair clash again. The eagerly-awaited contest also contains a third O’Brien runner in Marksmanship and the French Derby winner Reliable Man.
