Amadeus Mozart hits all right notes on debut Aidan O'Brien's Amadeus Mozart (10/11f) showed resolution to win the opening maiden over seven furlongs at the Curragh on his racecourse debut. The Wootton Bassett colt was pushed along by Ryan Moore to head barrier-trial-winner Flanker Jet inside the final quarter of a mile, but he was far from home. Flanker Jet rallied on his inner while stablemate Dorset challenged on the outer in the closing stages. Moore drove the leader home by half a length from Dorset (5/1) who kept him more than honest, while 16/1 Ipanema Beach, who raced on the stands' side, performed more than creditably in third, beaten a length by the victor as Flanker Jet dropped to fourth. O'Brien said of the first two: “They are lovely big horses - they were never away, so they are going to come forward plenty. “Ryan liked him (the winner). He said he was a lovely horse and he wouldn’t mind stepping up. “He’ll be a lovely horse next year, he’s a very big horse. He was very green.” Paddy Power kept Amadeus Mozart unchanged at 20/1 for the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot. Additional reporting by Gary Carson
