FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Aidan O'Brien has his first two-year-old runners of the year when SERGEI PROKOFIEV and The Irish Rover go here.The County Wexford born world record holder recently reflected on how the horses at Ballydoyle are named,and he credited Sue Magnier for doing a great job.He also revealed how his team rate the two-year-olds every week and that "if you ever see a good name on a bad horse,it's usually my fault."To that end the Scat Daddy juvenile that starts off on Wednesday has plenty to live up to with his Sergei Prokofiev moniker.Called after one of the major composers of the 20th century,Donnacha O'Brien rides the possible market-leader,with Seamie Heffernan aboard The Irish Rover.The Irish Rover,a popular folk song,is a very interesting contender for this five furlong dash too,as a son of first season sire No Nay Never.No Nay Never himself is by Scat Daddy,and he is expected to take high rank in the leading first season sire list for 2018.That's hardly surprising when one reminisces on his scintillating successes in the 2013 Norfolk Stakes,and Prix Morny.It'll be short odds that one of the O'Brien runners takes the major honours.Another of Scat Daddy's offspring,Skitter Scatter,does have the benefit of experience though,as Patrick Prendergast's charge finished third over course and distance a fortnight ago.
