The Juddmonte International at York and the Qipco Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown are among the options under consideration for 2000 Guineas hero Magna Grecia.

The Invincible Spirit colt ran out a hugely impressive winner of the Rowley Mile Classic in early May, but could finish only fifth when well fancied to follow up in the Irish 2,000 Guineas three weeks later.

Trainer Aidan O'Brien has since given his charge a mid-season break, and plans to step him up to a mile and a quarter on his next start.

"We will have a look at York and Leopardstown for him and we might well go up to some of those mile-and-a-quarter races with him next time," said the Ballydoyle handler.

"He is just back after a break. We will just see have to wait and see how long he takes to get back fit again."

Another O'Brien star who has not been seen in action for a couple of months is dual Group One winner Kew Gardens.

Last season's St Leger winner was narrowly beaten by Defoe in the Coronation Cup at Epsom on his latest appearance - and his trainer views the Irish St Leger as a suitable autumn target.

O'Brien said: "He is just back after a break, and we will have a look at something like the Irish St Leger with him. He is back in full exercise again now, though." 

O'Brien's two most recent Group One winners are Ten Sovereigns and Japan.

Ten Sovereigns bounced back to his brilliant best when landing the July Cup at Newmarket, while 24 hours later Japan confirmed himself a top-class middle-distance three-year-old with victory in the Grand Prix de Paris.

I was delighted with Ten Sovereigns," added O'Brien.

"He was a very good horse last year, and we were happy with his run in the Guineas and his run at Ascot. He is a very fast horse and he showed us that last year.

"He was always a horse that showed a lot of speed. We are thinking of the Nunthorpe for him at the moment, but that could all change.

"Japan will have a few easy weeks and be out around the autumn time. We were very happy with his run at Ascot and his run in France. He seems to be in good form since then.

"It was a nice race for him in France and it fitted into his schedule nicely. We think he is very versatile trip-wise, because he shows plenty of class in his races."

One Ballydoyle inmate who is set to miss the rest of 2019 is Southern Hills - winner of the Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot last month.

O'Brien said: "He is off for the year - we will probably leave him alone now until next year."

Having sent out Galileo out to claim both the midsummer showpiece and the Derby in the same season in 2001, Aidan O'Brien will attempt to repeat the feat with this year's Epsom Classic hero.

But while Galileo entered the race seeking a Group One hat-trick after adding the Irish Derby to his CV, Anthony Van Dyck was a beaten favourite behind stablemate Sovereign at the Curragh.

O'Brien has not lost any faith in his colt, however.

He said: "We are happy with Anthony since the Curragh and everything has gone well with him since then.

"We thought he ran very well. It was a good race and there were some very smart horses in there and we were happy with his run.

"Sovereign is a good horse in his own right, he had good form this year and good form last year - we weren't surprised that when he went up to a mile and a half he would be capable of a good run over that trip at some point."

Anthony Van Dyck will be receiving 8lb from odds-favourite Enable, but O'Brien, who could also run Norway, Magic Wand and Hunting Horn, is well aware of the task facing his team.

He added: "We have four left in there, but he (Anthony Van Dyck) would be the main one. It would be possible that all four could run.

"I don't know (about beating Enable). We try to run the horses in the race that suits them all and hopefully they will run as well as we can get them, and that is how we approach every race really."

Sovereign, who struck at 33-1 at the Curragh having made much of the running, was a notable absentee from the 11 acceptors at the five-day stage for the Qipco-sponsored feature.

O'Brien said: "He is getting a little rest. We just felt over the last few days that a little break would do him good, so that is what he is having.

"He will have this little rest now with a view to the autumn in mind and we will see how we go then.

"He could be anything really. He will have a quiet time, then we will prepare him for a race around Great Voltigeur time, then we can see where we will go.

Turnberry Isle followed-up on his win at Killarney last week, as he took the feature at Ballinrobe this evening, the Tote Supporting Irish Racing Since 1930 Handicap.

The Aidan O'Brien trained Galileo colt appears to be improving of late and was sent off the clear 5/6 favourite for this extended mile and one contest.

Settled in second by Donnacha O'Brien, who turned 21 today, he was ridden to the front from the furlong pole and he kept on well from there to record a straightforward length and a half success.

Takeachancejimmy (9s to 6s on-course) had no luck in running, but kept on well once he the clear close home, coming through to take a never nearer second under Andrew Slattery.

"He done it well. We thought he had plenty of weight for what he done the last day so it was probably an improvement on that form," said the winning rider.

Il Paradiso demolished his opposition in the Curragh Summer Festival Handicap over two miles.

Aidan O'Brien's Galileo colt was last seen finishing seventh of the eight runners in the Irish Derby.

Dropping in class to handicap company and stepping up in trip to two miles brought a devastating result.

Wayne Lordan sent him on from a scrubbed-along Brazos turning for home. The pair moved clear a furlong and a half out and won as they pleased by 12 lengths.

He brought up plenty of bets in going off the 11/10 favourite from 7/2 in the morning.

Shakespear'sgalley was the next horse home at 13/2. The four-timer-seeking Trossachs didn't get competitive in third on this step up in trip.

Aidan O'Brien said: “He's a lovely horse and he gets the trip really well.

“I'd say he's a Leger horse, that's the type of horse he is.

“He's getting better, improving and improving. He had a nice run in the Derby here, there was plenty there to like about him that day.

“I'd say the three-year-olds are high class.”
