Brilliant Blanco in line for Workforce rematch

Cape Blanco bounced right back to his best to give Aidan O’Brien a fifth consecutive Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby at the Curragh – and could now clash with old foe Workforce at Ascot next month.

The Galileo colt was fulfilling his undoubted Classic potential to lead home a one-two-three for O’Brien, with the success taking the Ballydoyle maestro’s haul in the Classic to eight in total.
