Ground scuppers Kingsbarns work

One-time Derby favourite Kingsbarns missed an intended gallop after racing at the Curragh due to drying ground.

Aidan O'Brien had hoped to work the unbeaten colt, who has not run since winning the Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster in October after an early-season setback meant he had to miss the 2000 Guineas and then Epsom.

Kingsbarns' only other start came in winning a Navan maiden, a couple of weeks before his impressive Doncaster performance.

The son of Galileo still holds a number of big-race entries during the remainder of the campaign.
