Can do for Curragh king Hannon

Canford Cliffs, trained by Richard Hannon and ridden by Richard Hughes, won the Abu Dhabi Irish 2000 Guineas at the Curragh.

Canford Cliffs fully justified Richard Hannon’s faith in his ability with a devastating display to win the Abu Dhabi Irish 2000 Guineas at the Curragh.

An impressive winner of the Coventry Stakes last season, he has been beaten in three subsequent races, including in the English Guineas where he finished third.
