What coolmore says about their runners in Ireland
Irish Derby Day today runners.
3.10 - EBF Maiden - 6f
Cape Clear Island (Fastnet Rock x Kushnarenkovo)
Aidan O'Brien / Joseph O'Brien
Good run on bow, sets the standard on that form and nicer ground to suit; this better race.
Siege Of Orleans (War Front x Watch)
Aidan O'Brien / Colm O'Donoghue
Suitably expensive yearling by War Front out of US Grade 3 winner; interesting sort.
Swordfight (Mastercraftsman x Dundel)
David Wachman / Billy Lee
Promise both outings and good enough to win a maiden but surprising if this were it.
U S Navy Seal (War Front x Questress)
Aidan O'Brien / Seamie Heffernan
Plenty of chat prior to debut lately but he went out meekly; sure better than that.

4.50 - Railway Stakes (Group 2) - 6f
Battle Of Marathon (War Front x Sayedah)
Aidan O'Brien / Seamie Heffernan
Won maiden last week at I Will Excel's chief expense, progressive and do not ignore.

Aidan O'Brien / Joseph O'Brien
Wayward Coventry also-ran; headgear today and likely to show much more; smart earlier form.
