Mofeed on course for Beresford

JOHN Oxx admits impressive maiden winner Akeed Mofeed faces a big step up in class this weekend when he contests the Juddmonte Beresford Stakes at the Curragh on Sunday.

A five-length winner at Leopardstown earlier this month having finished fourth there on his debut previously, the son of Dubawi created a huge impression.

So much so that he has been installed as the short-priced favourite to win the Group Two event, despite Aidan O’Brien having nine of the 14 entries at the five-day stage.
