Pat Smullen hoping for ‘safe’ ground at the Curragh

Pat Smullen is keeping his fingers crossed for safe ground at the Curragh next Saturday to allow Epsom hero Harzand to bid for the Derby double.

Smullen said: “If the ground is safe, I’m sure he’ll take his chance. The easy side of good should be OK, but that decision will be for the boss.

“We are very happy with him.”
