Gleneagles heads a strong Ballydoyle team at the Curragh this afternoon, and not surprisingly the son of Galileo is a strong 4/11 favourite for the Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas. Ivawood third to Gleneagles at Newmarket, is a best priced 6/1 for the opening Irish classic of the season while, among the bigger priced contenders, all the 20/1 about Endless Drama has gone after Pricewise put him up as an each-way choice in the Racing Post.
Ballydoyle, the juvenile daughter of Galileo named after the famous training grounds, looks set to go off at odds-on in the opening two-year-old maiden, while Washington DC has been clipped into 13/8 (from 2/1) for the Marble Hill Stakes. Brooch is a top-priced 5/4 with Paddy Power to maintain her unbeaten record in the Group 2 Lanwades Stud Stakes, while the same firm have cut Duca Valentinois from 12/1 into 9/1 in the following Hanlon Concrete Handicap.
Light-weight One Cool Poet has also attracted interest in the same 1m2f event, and is 9/1 (from 12/1) with Ladbrokes. In the concluding 'Habitat' Handicap Hasanour is a popular order and is currently 8/1 (from 12/1) with Betfair.
