Robson De Aguiar begins the new Flat season with a bang at the Curragh on Sunday where the newly-licensed trainer sends out four runners in the opening juvenile maiden.

De Aguiar had been assistant to trainer Adrian Murray in recent years with the team achieving two Group 1 wins and a Royal Ascot success, and last November took out his own training license.

De Aguiar, with 11 recent Dundalk wins, predominantly trains for Kia Joorabchian’s Amo Racing and begins tomorrow’s curtain-raiser with four runners in the opening Topgear At Capital Stud Irish EBF Maiden.

Brazilian-native De Aguiar reports "I think Force Noir is the one that is most forward of mine in the juvenile maiden race. The other three have good potential as well, but Force Noir is more forward than the rest of them. If any of them win, I will be happy.”

Regarding his three other runners, including two for the featured Nua Healthcare Irish Lincolnshire he added "Crypto Force and Tuscan Hills both run in the Lincoln and we have Fate's Gambit going for a maiden as well. We have competitive chances."

De Aguiar also reports his Guineas entry Power Blue, winner of last August’s Phoenix Stakes, to be on course for the English Classic, adding: "he is in good form and is coming along. He's happy at the moment and we will go to Leopardstown for a Guineas Trial."
