Hall systems go for Parish

Parish Hall attempts the first leg of a remarkable Classic double in the Abu Dhabi Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh day.

Last year’s shock Dewhurst Stakes winner bypassed the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket earlier this month due to the rain-softened ground, but trainer Jim Bolger is intent on making up for it over the next week.

The son of Bolger’s champion juvenile Teofilo has been well supported for the first Irish Classic of the season and could then turn out in the Investec Derby at Epsom the following Saturday.
