Modigliani may make his long-awaited return at Naas

One-time Classic contender Amedeo Modigliani may make his long-awaited reappearance at Naas on Sunday.

The Aidan O’Brien-trained four-year-old is one of 12 entries for the Listed Devoy Stakes over a mile and a quarter, as the new Flat turf season gets under way in Ireland. A son of Galileo, Amedeo Modigliani has not run since winning at Galway in August 2017 - missing the whole of his three-year-old season, having entered the winter as a leading fancy for the Investec Derby. Among the potential opposition is Dermot Weld’s equally lightly-raced filly Hazel Bay.
