John Oxx will take his time with the five juveniles sent his way by Sheikh Mohammed.

The pair have renewed their association after a brief hiatus and the youngsters are set to run in Godolphin blue.

The new horses are a timely boost for Oxx, who has seen his numbers dwindle in recent years.

"They are backward two-year-olds but they are nice and very welcome," the Currabeg handler told At The Races.

"I've trained a lot of winners for Sheikh Mohammed over the years so we are renewing the association, which is great news for us.

"There are a few nice ones. It will take a bit of time before they make a racecourse but we're very happy to have them."
