Eagle Considered For Curragh Clash

Eagle Mountain is likely to spearhead Aidan O´Brien´s team for the Budweiser Irish Derby on Sunday week.

The Vodafone Derby runner-up is one of four possibles at this stage for the Ballydoyle handler, who is chasing a fifth success in the race.

O´Brien, who also landed the Curragh feature with Dylan Thomas last year, told the Racing Post: 'Eagle Mountain came out of his race at Epsom well and is in good form so far.

'The plan is to run him in the Irish Derby ? Solider Of Fortune, Spanish Harlem and Alexander Of Hales are also possibles for the race.'
