O’Brien juvenile star out to deliver in Nobel

War Envoy bids to further enhance his reputation in the Alfred Nobel Rochestown Stakes on a high-class card at Naas today.

The Aidan O’Brien-trained War Front colt made quite an impression when running out a comfortable length winner on his debut at this track in April and is already on offer at 16-1 for next year’s Qipco 2000 Guineas.

This Listed event over six furlongs has drawn a strong field of nine with Richard Hannon sending dual winner Kool Kompany for a race his father won back in 2011 with Lilbourne Lad.
