John F Kennedy in Ballysax contention Investec Derby favourite John F Kennedy is set to make his seasonal reappearance in the PW McGrath Ballysax Stakes at Leopardstown on Sunday. Winner of his final two starts as a juvenile, the Galileo colt is one of six entries for Aidan O'Brien in the 10-furlong Group Three event, a traditional pointer towards Epsom in June. Others for Ballydoyle include Racing Post Trophy runner-up Aloft and promising types such as Giovanni Canaletto and Archangel Raphael. Jim Bolger is represented at this stage by the Godolphin-owned Listed winner Parish Boy and the maiden Morning Mix, while Dermot Weld can call on recent Curragh winner Ashraf and Zafilani. The only other trainer with a possible runner is Ken Condon, whose Success Days got his head in front at Cork on Saturday.
