Ascot in mind for Decken Paddy Twomey will keep Ascot in mind for his impressive Curragh winner Van Der Decken. The Dutch Art colt ran out an impressive winner of a strong-looking maiden on Sunday, won 12 months previously by Air Force Blue. Van Der Decken already holds an entry in the Group One Phoenix Stakes in August, but a trip across the Irish Sea may beckon first. "He was impressive and I was happy with him," said Twomey. "We'll keep Ascot in mind for him, for sure. "He's come out of it in good form and I think he'll prefer a bit nicer ground. "He's out of a Green Desert mare, whose sister was a fast-ground winner in Canada. "In time you'd think he may stay a bit further. "We'll just have a think about everything."
