William Buick expects Curragh will suit Jack Hobbs

William Buick is expecting the Curragh to suit Jack Hobbs when he runs in the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby on June 27.

The jockey had to settle for second in the Investec Derby at Epsom on Saturday, having partnered winner Golden Horn in the Dante at York.

With Godolphin now having a majority share in Jack Hobbs, Buick was on the York runner-up at the weekend, and was extremely proud of his effort in defeat to his John Gosden-trained stablemate, ridden by Frankie Dettori.
